Vintage Egyptian folk Tapestry 1’6″ x 1’3″

Description

Size: 1.6 x 1.3 ft.

Origin: Egypt

Circa: 1970s

Material: Pure Wool

This vintage Egyptian folk wool tapestry is a handwoven textile that vividly portrays a rural village scene in bold, folkloric style. At the centre, a figure dressed in traditional attire stands beneath a leaning palm tree, surrounded by white geese grazing on the ground, while a black bird soars in the orange sky. To the right, a mud-brick village house with dark windows and a doorway anchors the composition, framed by stylised mountains in the background. Woven with hand-spun wool in earthy tones of green, brown, beige, and orange, the piece reflects the daily life and storytelling traditions of Egyptian artisans. Its naïve yet expressive design and bright palette capture the charm of folk art, making it a striking decorative wall hanging and a meaningful representation of cultural heritage.
