A line of geese marches through a lush garden of leaves, buds and cactus pads in this geese in the cactus garden tapestry, with doves gliding across the sky between two palms.

On the wall
Wide in format, it is made for the wall above a sofa, a bed or a sideboard. It comes without a sleeve or rod pocket. For a 28 in wool wall hanging, a short run of hook-and-loop tape and a slim batten are enough, or use a clip rail or a sewn rod casing.
On the loom
Each goose and cactus pad is woven without a cartoon to follow. A warp fringe finishes the ends, and the weaver signed this goose tapestry in Arabic.
