Sphinx, Pyramid, Camel with Riders Tapestry

Profile picture for user Elizabeth Adams
By Elizabeth Adams, 27 January, 2013
Description

I have a tapestry that depicts the Sphinx, three pyramids, camels and riders. It is 67" long (not including fringe) and 44" high. It is woven not printed as the picture appears on the reverse side as well. There are no signatures or tags leading to where it is from or time period. I bought it out of an antique shop in AL a few years back for $100.

Re: Sphinx, Pyramid, Camel with Riders Tapestry

I bought one similar to this in Asmara, Ethiopia in the early 70s when I was stationed at Kagnew.  They are very nicely woven with tassles on the sides.
