Handwoven tapestry.

Wool on wool.

Woven in one long strip and then stiched together to create spatial form of riband.

It was made like that to highlight technique of stiching together multiple strips of kilim to create larger one - as seen in multiple examples from weaving culture from middle east - usually used as floor covering or wrap for other more precious textiles.

This one is especially inspired by mazandaran and jajim kilims from northern Iran.

approx 200cm high, 128cm wide.
