This exquisite vintage petite Egyptian tapestry from the Wissa Wassef tradition evokes a timeless, almost dreamlike pastoral scene rendered in softly muted tones. Handwoven with remarkable delicacy, it features stylised birds and gentle animals moving through a lush, rhythmic landscape of flowering trees and foliage, all set against a serene blue-green ground. The composition feels spontaneous yet deeply balanced, reflecting the hallmark philosophy of the Wissa Wassef workshops, where weavers create directly from imagination rather than cartoons. Subtle variations in wool texture and colour give the surface painterly depth, while the naïve, lyrical figures recall ancient Egyptian storytelling, reinterpreted through a modern artistic lens. Both decorative and collectable, this tapestry carries a quiet elegance and cultural richness that makes it as captivating on the wall as it is historically meaningful.

Pictures are taken in natural light to portray the most realistic colours possible. Due to the handmade and preloved nature, slight imperfections and flaws are not defects.
