Senegalese Hunting Tapestry on Colonnade

Sunlight reflects off wet surfaces to illuminate a hand-woven tapestry hanging against a stone colonnade in Senegal. The textile depicts a hunting scene with earthy reds, ochres, and deep greens, its fibers absorbing the humid air lingering after rain. Thick columns stand in rhythmic repetition along the facade, their surfaces damp and darkened by moisture. Water droplets rest on the woven edges, catching the light in tiny, scattered points. The reflection below creates a mirrored composition, doubling the vertical lines of the architecture and the horizontal bands of the fabric. A shadow falls across the lower stone step, at the base of the scene in the cool season light.
