Description
The Kiswah is the cloth draped over the Kaaba in Mecca, a building prime amongst Islam’s holy sites. Each year a new kiswah is placed on the Kaaba during the annual Hajj pilgrimage. Dozens of Saudi caftsmen, including some of the best calligraphers and artists in the world, work in Mecca preparing the elaborate silk and cotton cloth which is embroidered with gold thread. The kiswah has many distinct features, one of which is a specific design for covering the doorway to which this piece is a near replica.
Kiswah of Kabbah is the cloth that covers the Kaaba in Mecca, Saudi Arabia. It is draped annually on the 9th day of the month of Dhu al-Hijjah, the day pilgrims leave for the plains of Mount Arafat during the Hajj. The artwork is a depiction of the Kiswah in papercutting.
Framing
Framing is currently offered within Perth, Australia only. Because paper-cutting artworks are delicate and dimensional, framing is a little different to standard prints. I recommend a “floating” presentation, sandwiched between two pieces of glass so the artwork stays protected and visible from both sides.
If you’re in Perth, I can arrange framing and deliver to you. If you’re outside Perth, please message me with your location and I’ll share the best options and next steps.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is this a print or original?
This is a 100% original, physical artwork. It is hand-cut from vinyl using a surgical knife. It is not printed, lasered, or machine-made in any way.
Can I request a custom size?
Original artworks are one-of-a-kind and come in the specified dimensions. However, we do accept commissions for bespoke pieces. Please contact us via the contact form.
How do I frame it?
The artwork arrives unrolled in a tube. We recommend professional custom framing with a 'float mount' to showcase the edges of the artwork, or a shadow box frame to emphasize the depth of the cuts.

Yes, we offer free worldwide shipping on all original artworks (unframed). We use premium couriers (DHL/FedEx) to ensure safe and fast delivery. Insurance is available on request.
What is your return policy?
We accept returns provided the artwork is received back in good condition. Return shipping and any related charges are the responsibility of the client. Once the artwork arrives and is inspected to confirm it is in its original condition, we will process your refund. Please note the refund process may take some time.
