A single mirrored calligraphic motif rises down the centre of a tall panel, a braided knot stem topped by curving horns and a pointed finial, set inside a plain border.
- Size: 48 x 88 cm (19 x 35 in), width x height
- Colourway: Burnt Orange on Cream
- Technique: Khayamiya — cotton appliqué, stitched entirely by hand
- One of a kind: cut and stitched by hand, not printed. The flat photographs show this exact piece; the room photographs are illustrations.
Its tall format suits a narrow wall, a hallway, or the space beside a doorway or a staircase.
Khayamiya is the appliqué of the Cairo tentmakers. Every shape is cut from cotton, its edges turned under and hand-stitched onto the backing with tiny, close stitches, so the picture is built up layer by layer rather than printed or painted.
Hanging: a rod pocket is sewn across the back of the top edge. Slide a curtain rod, a dowel or a slim batten through it and hang it from two brackets or nails.
