Egyptian Wool Tapestries  (Medium Size )

     From the collection of   MARLA MALLETT: TAPESTRY ART
The imagery in Egyptian village tapestries ranges from sophisticated to charmingly naive.  Many pieces of medium size are woven by teenagers, others by adults who began weaving as children. Several exquisite pieces below and on the following page are from the Fouad El Awadly or Wissa Wassef workshops in Harrania.  For photos of weavers and some background on this flourishing tradition, check out our page on the Wissa Wassef experiment.
