Echoes of the Nile: A Vintage Egyptian Tapestry of Pastoral Grace

Echoes of the Nile: A Vintage Egyptian Tapestry of Pastoral Grace

By Ramses Wissa Wassef Workshop

Located in Dallas, TX

79103 Vintage Egyptian Kilim Tapestry Rug, 02'02 x 03'04. This exquisite handwoven wool Egyptian pictorial tapestry rug is a striking representation of traditional life and pastoral scenes that resonate with cultural depth and artistic expression. Crafted with meticulous attention to detail, the flatweave rug showcases a variety of animals commonly found in the rural landscapes of Egypt. Depicted are camels and goats, each rendered in natural, earthy tones that speak to the organic dyes derived from the region's abundant natural resources. The inclusion of a human figure, possibly a shepherd, anchors the composition in human experience, bridging the gap between nature and civilization. The background of the tapestry is a rich, textured gray (greenish undertones), representing the fertile grounds of the Nile Valley, which has historically been the lifeblood of Egyptian agriculture and rural life. This backdrop serves as a vivid canvas that highlights the vibrant hues of the animals, lending a sense of vitality and movement to the scene. Each animal is colored distinctively, allowing their individual forms to stand out, while also harmonizing with the overall palette to create a cohesive visual narrative. This vintage Egyptian tapestry...

Very Fine and Large Orientalist Oil on Canvas Titled "Ashura Rituals, Tangier"

Very Fine and Large Orientalist Oil on Canvas Titled "Ashura Rituals, Tangier"

By Gordon B. Coutts 1

Located in Los Angeles, CA

Gordon B. Coutts (Scottish/American, 1868-1937) A very fine and large orientalist oil on canvas titled "Ashura Rituals, Tangier" (Arabic: عاشوراء‎ ʻĀshūrā’ - Urdu: عاشورا‎ - Persian: عاشورا‎ - Turkish: Aşure Günü). Signed and inscribed: 'Gordon Coutts/TANGIER' (lower right), circa 1920. Provenance: The Fisher Art Museum, University of Southern California. Gordon Coutts led a peripatetic career, born in Aberdeen, Scotland, he then studied and travelled to Glasgow, London, Paris and Rome before settling in Melbourne, Australia in 1891. In 1896 he moved to Sydney, where he taught at the Art Society of New South Wales, before returning back to Europe in 1899. With the climate of northern Europe detrimental to Coutts' poor health, he moved with his wife, Alice Grey, to the United States where he became a frequent exhibitor at the Bohemian Club in San Francisco. In 1920 he travelled to Tangiers, Morocco where, dressed as an Arab, he passed from tribe to tribe observing the lifestyle, customs and practices of the the village people and Bedouins. The present work depicts the celebration of Ashura. The day of Ashura is commemorated by Shi'ite Muslims; "A day of pain, pilgrimage and pageantry, it is one of the holiest in their religion. The word Ashura means 10, and refers to the tenth day of Muharram, the first month of the Islamic calendar. This is a period of mourning and cleansing, which marks the martyrdom of Hussein, grandson of the Prophet Muhammad...
