A rare and expressive handwoven narrative textile from Lesotho, Southern Africa, depicting scenes of rural village life with an artistry that blends storytelling and utility. Dyed with a warm, mineral-rich palette of ochre, camel, indigo, ivory, and sage, the tapestry portrays palm trees, traditional dwellings, a fisherman in a sailboat, and a figure riding a donkey—each rendered in charming, geometric abstraction. The wool/mohair blend creates a naturally lustrous surface, with the mohair lending a soft sheen and tactile dimension. Its vertical format and strong visual rhythm make it equally suited for wall display or as an unconventional floor accent in a curated space.
