The highly detailed hand-worked scene features Noah surrounded by pairs of animals—including elephants, giraffes, birds and big cats—with lush flowering trees and vegetation along the water’s edge.

A particularly appealing example of narrative textile art, combining appliqué and embroidered details with a wonderfully naïve, graphic quality. The saturated colors and whimsical animals give it tremendous personality. Presented under glass in a simple warm wood frame.

A terrific piece for a child’s room or nursery, but graphic and sophisticated enough to mix into an eclectic gallery wall, beach house or collected interior. See less
