Egyptian Pictorial Tapestry, Giza Carpet School, ca. 1970s
Handcrafted Egyptian pictorial tapestry from the Giza Carpet School, dated to the late 1970s. Executed in a vertical format, the work depicts a stylized landscape with trees and birds, arranged in a balanced, ornamentally structured composition. The harmonious palette of greens, blues, ochres, and reds lends the tapestry a calm, timeless presence.
The tapestry is distinguished by its dense knotting, precise articulation, and high level of craftsmanship, reading visually as a woven picture. It was acquired in connection with a major exhibition at the Roemer- and Pelizaeus-Museum Hildesheim, internationally renowned for its Egyptian collection.
Condition report
