Vintage Moroccan Wedding Blanket, Berber Handira with Original Cape Ties

About the Item

21547 Vintage Moroccan Wedding Blanket with Original Cape Ties, 04'00 x 07'06. This handwoven wool vintage Moroccan Wedding Blanket also known as a Berber Tamizart Handira features rows of fluffy fringe and four square embellished with paillette sequins. The underside of this vintage Handira blanket displays Kilim bands. These bands are linked back to the flat-weave kilims of the region. This particular Moroccan Handira still has the two ties attached- it was worn by the bride as a cape. The ties on the Handira Tamizart secure it around the bride's shoulders for warmth during the ride to her new home.
