"Maruru," meaning "thanks" or "offerings of gratitude" in Tahitian, is one of the woodcuts Paul Gauguin created for his Noa Noa suite, illustrating a ceremonial scene of offering drawn from his interpretation of Polynesian ritual life. Carved with a deliberately rough, primitivist technique that broke from refined European printmaking convention, the woodcut reflects Gauguin's search for a more elemental, symbolic form of image-making. The Noa Noa prints were produced in Paris after his first return from Tahiti, as he worked to translate his island experience into a new visual language.
Jacquard-woven as a soft, double-sided tapestry throw with fringed edges — a warm layer for the sofa or bed.

I have no real complaints and one small wish. The tones across Offerings of Gratitude are even and deep. It has not shifted or sagged in six weeks. It does everything I hoped it would.
It came in smaller than the space really wanted. This is reasonable value for something by Gauguin, and Offerings of Gratitude still deserves a better scan.
Thanks for taking the time. Feedback about softness in the detail is useful to us, and we are rescanning several pieces this quarter.
My only complaint is that I wish they made a bigger version. The reproduction of Offerings of Gratitude is faithful enough that I would buy another. The quality is well above what I expected at this price point. Easy recommendation, with a small caveat about the price.
The shop answered my question about sizing within a few hours. Everything I like about Offerings of Gratitude is here and legible. The whole order took less than a week from checkout to opening it. It arrived faster than most orders manage to get to us out here. 😍
It shipped fast and arrived exactly as described. The balance of light and dark in Offerings of Gratitude came out better than I expected. Really no complaints worth writing down.
