Curator's Notes
Karam has a field of striated coral populated with various zoomorphic creatures—most likely sheep—in different hues, who are surrounded by a fence-border of dainty triangles.
Material DetailsThese pieces are hand-knotted with a soft blend of sheep and lambswool. Unparalleled for centuries, wool has a hydrophobic layer which repels dust and dirt, as well as lanolin, which provides its trademark luster and protects the fiber from breaking or shedding. It's woven onto wool wefts, adding enviable body and heft.
