About the Item

A large and highly decorative Egyptian tapestry, likely dating from the 1950s. Handwoven using traditional techniques, this textile features a charming and narrative scene of stylized birds among trees, accompanied by a human figure. The composition has a naïve, almost storybook quality, with a strong graphic rhythm and earthy, muted tones. One of the most distinctive features of this piece is its reversibility: the design appears on both sides, with subtle variations in color and texture, offering multiple display possibilities. The palette combines warm browns, ochres, soft greens, and faded pinks, creating a rich yet balanced visual presence. The slightly irregular weaving and natural variations in the fibers enhance its authenticity and handcrafted character.
