One of my knitting teachers just told me about this extremely good archive of traditional palestinian pixel art https://tirazain.com/archive

@hannah thank you for sharing! This reminded me of carpets my grandparents have, with quite uncanny ancient pixel art. One of the carpets had symbols quite similar to the ones in the archive, but I unfortunately don't have a photo (might be able to get one in a few days). I have a photo of a carpet using completely different pixel arts, and wow, I can imagine seeing those in a pixel art horror game now... The possibilities!
