This piece comes from weavers in Sohag which has been a center for woven textiles since the dynasties of the Ancient Egyptians. Their products have stood the test of time, the craft being practiced through Coptic, Roman, Islamic, and modern day eras of Egypt’s history, though ancient relics constantly being excavated steps away from their workshop are a reminder of their beginnings. The artisans who made this product are making fair wages and preserving Egyptian cultural heritage by practicing a craft that has been passed down to them generation to generation.
