About the Item
A very finely woven wool veil of an unusual format, sparsely embellished with touches of embroidery, used as a head cover in the wedding ceremony among the Ait Abdellah Berber people of the Moroccan Anti-Atlas region. The pattern is obtained with the resist-technique using henna pigments, which are present here in two shades, a characteristic burnt orange and an aubergine purple. Conserved on a black cotton backing and mounted on a wooden stretcher. A true work of minimalistic tribal art.
