Wool tapestry.  3'5"x 5'4."
Garia was one of the first young children to begin weaving in Ramses Wissa Wassef's studio in the 1950s. (See Tracking the Archetype, for a couple of her early weavings.) She continued with that studio for about 40 years, becoming Egypt's most well known tapestry artist. She now works independently.
