Portugal (Portuguese), officially the Portuguese Republic (Portuguese), is a country on the Iberian Peninsula in Southwestern Europe.

It is the westernmost country of mainland Europe.

To the west and south it is bordered by the Atlantic Ocean and to the east and north by Spain.

The Portugal–Spain border is long and considered the longest uninterrupted border within the European Union.

The republic also includes the Atlantic archipelagos of the Azores and Madeira, both autonomous regions with their own regional governments.

Portuguese (or, in full) is a Romance language and the sole official language of Portugal, Brazil, Cape Verde, Guinea-Bissau, Mozambique, Angola, and São Tomé and Príncipe.

It also has co-official language status in East Timor, Equatorial Guinea and Macau.

As the result of expansion during colonial times, a cultural presence of Portuguese and Portuguese creole speakers are also found in Goa, Daman and Diu in India; in Batticaloa on the east coast of Sri Lanka; in the Indonesian island of Flores; in Malacca of Malaysia; and the ABC islands in the Caribbean where Papiamento is spoken, while Cape Verdean Creole is the most widely spoken Porteguese-based Creole.

Tapestry is a form of textile art, traditionally woven on a vertical loom.

Tapestry is weft-faced weaving, in which all the warp threads are hidden in the completed work, unlike cloth weaving where both the warp and the weft threads may be visible.

In tapestry weaving, weft yarns are typically discontinuous; the artisan interlaces each coloured weft back and forth in its own small pattern area.

It is a plain weft-faced weave having weft threads of different colours worked over portions of the warp to form the design.

A carpet is a textile floor covering typically consisting of an upper layer of pile attached to a backing.

The pile was traditionally made from wool, but, since the 20th century, synthetic fibers such as polypropylene, nylon or polyester are often used, as these fibers are less expensive than wool.

The pile usually consists of twisted tufts which are typically heat-treated to maintain their structure.

The term "carpet" is often used interchangeably with the term "rug", although the term "carpet" can be applied to a floor covering that covers an entire house, whereas a "rug" is generally no bigger than a single room, and traditionally does not even span from one wall to another, and is typically not even attached as part of the floor.

An artisan (from) is a skilled craft worker who makes or creates things by hand that may be or strictly decorative, for example furniture, decorative arts, sculptures, clothing, jewellery, food items, household items and tools or even mechanisms such as the handmade clockwork movement of a watchmaker.

Artisans practice a craft and may through experience and aptitude reach the expressive levels of an artist.
