About the Item

Made with handtufted wool circa 1960-1970, this 5x12 vintage tapestry is an exciting new addition to Rug Kilim's collection of rare textiles and wall-hanging pieces—one of a rare series of pieces made for a synagogue, each depicting scenes from theology. On the Design: This tapestry, rendered in striking red, blue, and black tones, is a rare and captivating piece from a series originally commissioned for a synagogue. A testament to both artistry and faith, it depicts the dramatic story of Gideon, a pivotal figure in Jewish theology.

The vibrant colors of the handtufted piece bring the narrative to life, showcasing the rich symbolism and powerful imagery of this biblical tale. This tapestry is not only a beautiful work of art but also a significant historical and religious artifact, offering a glimpse into the artistic traditions and theological narratives of its time. A truly unique piece, it is sure to be a treasured addition to any collection. Condition: This Vintage rug further enjoys good condition with mild wear consistent with its age and origin. Intended for exclusive use in wall-hanging projects and similar applications.
