The sun sets behind a small village of mud-brick houses and a church on the far bank; roosters and hens strut along the walls, a line of geese walks home through the tall grass beside a stream, and cypresses and willows sway in the evening light.
- Size: 188 x 108 cm (74 x 43 in)
- Material: Handwoven wool
- Finish: Warp fringe
- One of a kind: woven freehand with no sketch or cartoon behind the warp, so no second copy exists. The photographs show this exact piece.
Its wide format is made for the wall above a sofa, a bed or a sideboard.
Hanging: the tapestry arrives without a sleeve or rod pocket. The simplest method is hook-and-loop tape sewn along the top edge, with the matching half fixed to a wooden batten on the wall. A clip rail also works, or a tailor can sew on a casing for a rod.
