Gakonga Rug

Gakonga Rug
Original artwork by the Kenyan artist Gakonga
"The tribal living of the Maasia, Kikuyu and Swahili people of Kenya in their native lands, provides and develops my inspiration". Gakonga.

Anchor LH800
Finished size: 100x78cm
Stitched on 4.5 count full colour printed canvas



Started July 2010, worked on it casually and finished it November 2010. Currently rolled up in the chest in the spare room although I do have plans to back it with some calico and mount it using dowels top and bottom. It's quite heavy so hopefully that should hold it up.
