Description
A square format Khedival tent. Earlier than the Morton tent in the Chicago Oriental Institute, but similar in scale. The vernacular style is in keeping the larger tent at Doddington Hall or circular Harvard tent in their Semitic Museum, all circa 1880's. Note that green patches have a notable preservation of the green color. In many others of this era, such as Henri Matisse's panel, where you can see the green in his painting "Interior with Egyptian Curtain", the green has degraded to brown on the original textile. One panel measures 5' 4.5" x 30' 6.5". Second panel 5' 8" x 31'. Top measures 17' 7.5" x 18' 2"
