Materials: Wool on cotton foundation
Origin: Likely Gafsa, southern Tunisia
Date: 1970s-90s
Notes: Named after the village of origin, “Gafsa” rugs are often used decoratively as wall hangings. A patchwork-style work like this one was meant to show off the weaver’s skill in a number of different styles of weaving, and served as a kind of sampler for particular workshops, rugmakers, or looms.
