The vibrant colors of the handtufted piece bring the narrative to life, showcasing the rich symbolism and powerful imagery of this biblical tale. This tapestry is not only a beautiful work of art but also a significant historical and religious artifact, offering a glimpse into the artistic traditions and theological narratives of its time. A truly unique piece, it is sure to be a treasured addition to any collection. Condition: This Vintage rug further enjoys good condition with mild wear consistent with its age and origin. Intended for exclusive use in wall-hanging projects and similar applications.
