Hambis Tsangaris was born in Kontea, a village located in the Turkish-occupied northeastern region of Cyprus. His work reflects a deep love for the island's traditional culture and expresses a desire to heal the current political division between Greek and Turkish Cypriots.

Some creases to the banner; the grouping in overall very good condition.
