    Doves and Vases tapestry

    The artefact

    The decoration of this fine tapestry faithfully reproduces a pattern of the renowned textile tradition of Mogoro featuring the elegant stylised figures of doves and vases made with thin polychrome threads and gold threads on a neutral background. Crafted on a handloom according to the local a bagas technique and as delicate as embroidery, the tapestry can be customised in decoration, colour and size.
