A beautiful pair of vintage wall hangings, made from a variety of linen and cotton fabrics. Hand-stitched, backed and bordered with a red trim.
One depicts the god Horus wearing the pschent – the red and white crown signifying a united Egypt – and holding an ankh, and the other depicts the goddess Hathor with a falcon over her.
The hangings were custom-made one-offs, and are in good condition considering their age. The stitching has slightly frayed in places, and there are a couple of marks in some areas.
