This vintage Egyptian Harraniya tapestry is a beautifully handwoven textile that tells a pastoral story through folk-art imagery. Woven in natural wool with warm earthy tones of camel, ivory, rust, and brown, it depicts a serene village scene: women in traditional dress are shown gathering and tending near a pond where ducks swim peacefully, while stylized palm trees, desert hills, and triangular huts rise in the background beneath a setting sun. Birds in flight add movement to the sky, enriching the tapestry’s sense of life and continuity.
Crafted in the Harraniya village of Egypt, known for its unique weaving tradition established in the mid-20th century, this piece combines artisanal craftsmanship with narrative artistry. Each tapestry from this region is one-of-a-kind, reflecting daily life, nature, and local heritage. Both decorative and collectible, it serves not only as a textile but as a cultural document that captures the spirit of Egyptian village life.
