About This Item
Washington & London.: Smithsonian Institution Press.. 1995.. Profusely illustrationed in colour, xxvii +164pp. cloth covered boards lettered in silver, and very good in the original dust wrapper with just a tiny nick to the lower corner. 28x 28cm. Egyptian Hajjis or Hajjas traditionally celebrate their sacred journey to Mecca by commissioning a local artist to depict their religious odyssey on the walls of their homes. This is a visual record of this naive art form. .
