This antique Egyptian wool tapestry is a vivid and whimsical textile masterpiece, bursting with life and colour. Woven entirely by hand, it depicts a fantastical underwater and jungle-like scene where animals such as fish, birds, and crocodiles intermingle among lush vegetation and surreal foliage. Bold hues of ochre, coral, aqua, emerald, and chocolate brown create a dynamic contrast, while playful figures like a striped tiger and golden crocodiles lend a folk-art charm that is both imaginative and expressive.

Authentic A handwoven Egyptian tapestry from the Wissa Wassef Art Centre, depicting a vibrant aquatic and pastoral scene rendered in expressive folk style. Woven entirely from memory and imagination using naturally dyed wool, this one-of-a-kind textile exemplifies the philosophy and artistic legacy of Wissa Wassef.

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.
