Egyptian carpet with colourful description of a market
17 November 2025
Description

This is an Egyptian carpet with depiction of an old urban market where you can see people from different ethnicities in period clothing, selling and buying merchandise. The colorful nature of the description shows textile and other goods along with animals characteristic to the urban market scape. Silver wire is woven into the fabric along with cotton to give it strength and a unique texture. The colors are vibrant in the front and the rear of the textile is black and white which makes it unique. A peculiar all black arm waves out from the minar depicted on the left side which seems like a discrete signature of the artist.
