African Art for New Collectors

Splendid red velvet fabric, most likely displayed inside an Ethiopian Coptic church, embroidered in cotton with Ethiopian religious symbols and geometric decorations. Cut along the top edge, the back shows evident fragments of wallpaper to which it was originally applied. From an auction house.

Splendido tessuto in panno rosso, con ogni probabilità esposto all'interno di una chiesa copta etiope, ricamato in cotone con simboli etiopi religiosi e decori geometrici.
Tagliato lungo la parte superiore, mostra al retro evidenti frammenti di carta da parati su cui originariamente era applicato.
Proveniente da una casa d'asta.
