The verses of Surah Al-Falaq form a dense spiral of square Kufic letters filling the square, framed by a plain inner margin and a wide mitred border.
- Size: 47 x 47 cm (19 x 19 in), width x height
- Text: Al-Falaq
- Colourway: Bright Purple 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.
A small piece for a kitchen wall, a reading corner, a shelf niche or a gallery-wall grouping.
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.
