Monarch of the Sahel

Rooted in regal African elegance, this striking vertical silk tapestry pairs a deep emerald border with a glowing canvas of gold, warm terracotta, and crimson tones. The left side features a rich teal-green border adorned with a series of intricately detailed lion heads, rendered in metallic silver and subtle gold linework that evokes noble pride and strength. The expansive main body radiates with the intense luster of traditional gold gouache (guda), creating a shimmering, textured background. Interwoven throughout are intricate, fluid linework and layered organic forms that celebrate majestic heritage, movement, and fine craftsmanship on luxurious silk. (Note: the black lines are a reflection of gold and light)
