This tapestry was made in the traditional tentmakers, or khayyamiya, style. Khayyamiya, derived from the Arabic word for tent, is a technique that is popular among Egyptian tentmakers in local bazaars. The technique involves overlaying sailcloth with embroidery and colorful designs. While these designs were originally geared towards tents and pavilions, today they are used to make decorative indoor pieces as well as clothing.
