The beautiful works of Rugs, Carpets &
Tapestry hand loom products are attributed to the Egyptian women.
Many of the girls and housewives of the countryside produce these
beautiful and colorful rugs, carpets and tapestry. They
produce them through instinct and creativity which was passed along from
mother to daughter through thousands of years starting from the peasants
of ancient Egypt till to day. They are inspired by the peaceful
environment of the Egyptian countryside with the mixture of beautiful
colors of green pastures, blue Nile, yellowish brown sand and the cheerful
sunny sky which give them the combination of the drawings they perform.
Meanwhile, most of their designs are done from memory with certain
cultural designs according to the place and environment they are in. This
is distinctly seen from the tapestries coming from upper Egypt with
a mixture of designs reflecting the pyramids, sand with ancient Egyptian
drawings . While pictures of the delta area (northern part of Egypt)
reflect the green area recognized as the "gift of the Nile", where
the farmers grow and cultivate their land. The simple drawings of simple
houses give you a feeling of how simple, pleasant and warm these people
feel about their home and environment . Please explore and enjoy these
genuine Egyptian women beautiful productions. |
