A cotton wall hanging featuring an applied Egyptian design of a central goddess in a circle, with winged kneeling figures on either side. The hanging is hand-appliqued. It was made in the 1920s, when Egyptian archaeological excavations such as that of Tutenkhamen's tomb captured the public's imagination and became a popular source of inspiration.
