Vintage Egyptian Tapestry 2'6" x 1'3"

Size: 2.6 x 1.3 ft.

Origin: Egypt

Circa: 1980s

Material: Pure Wool

This vintage Egyptian handwoven wool kilim tapestry beautifully depicts a desert caravan scene at twilight. Woven in rich shades of blue, the background mimics the tranquil hues of the evening sky, against which silhouettes of camels and their riders march in a graceful procession. A soft white moon hovers over the horizon, casting a calm glow across the scene.

The camels and figures are rendered in deep black, creating a bold contrast with the blue field. A lone palm tree on the right adds a touch of landscape detail, grounding the composition in an oasis-like setting. Finished with white fringes on both ends, this tapestry is a soulful piece of folk artistry, blending traditional Egyptian storytelling with a minimalist, silhouette-style aesthetic. Ideal as wall art, it adds cultural warmth and a sense of narrative movement to any space.
