Details

A whimsical parade of stylized camels marches across a smoky denim-blue field, rendered in vibrant saffron, rust, and ivory wool. The joyful repetition of the camel motif is both playful and symbolic, evoking themes of travel, trade, and tradition. With its plush pile and saturated vegetal tones, this piece bridges folk storytelling and graphic modernism. Each camel seems to carry not only a saddle, but a story, echoing folk art traditions from the nomadic tribes of Central or Western Asia.

The symmetry is playful, not rigid. Rows of camels face in alternating directions, like a storybook flipped in motion. Framed by a flower-studded burnt orange border and finished with soft fringe, this piece is perfect for a kid’s room, reading nook, studio, or any space needing a dose of warmth and personality.

Soft underfoot and joyfully patterned, it evokes both humor and heritage - a rare combination.
