This underwater fish kilim tapestry is a handwoven Egyptian wall hanging in wool, an ocean scene set against deep blue water.
A lighter blue vertical gradient suggests sunlight filtering down through the water, and lively schools of fish swim through it in sunny yellow, orange, silver and soft pink. Sea plants frame the scene: flowing green seaweed, patterned white-capped stalks and a large orange coral-like structure anchoring the ocean floor. The vertical composition is woven entirely from the weaver's imagination, without a sketch or guide. It is signed by the artist in Arabic at the bottom left.
Use it as a wall hanging, an accent rug or a decorative throw.
