We present this authentic antique Egyptian Khayamiya textile panel. Crafted in the 1920s, these handmade pieces became highly sought-after souvenirs and decor items during the Egyptian Revival movement, a craze fueled by the 1922 discovery of King Tutankhamun’s tomb.
The panel is a traditional Khayamiya, a classic technique practiced by Cairo's tentmakers. It uses layered cotton appliqué pieces hand-stitched onto a canvas backing.
The graphics feature a prominent winged vulture design, which represents Mut or Nekhbet from ancient Egyptian mythology. Flanking the bird are the stylized Eyes of Horus (symbolizing protection and health), lotus blossoms, and rectangular text bars with faux-hieroglyphic shapes.
The warm, naturally aged background and faded red and black tones are classic markers of early 20th-century dye techniques and natural wear.
