Hand-Embroidered Linen Table Napkin "Khomsa" – Collection Medina

About the Item

Infuse your dining rituals with history, symbolism, and art with this exquisite hand-embroidered linen table napkin from the Medina collection, designed by celebrated Tunisian artist Meriem Bouderbala. Crafted from 100% natural linen and meticulously hand-embroidered, this 45x45 cm (17.7 x 17.7 in) napkin features a delicate interpretation of the "Khomsa" — an iconic symbol in Tunisian folklore. Also known as the "Hand of Fatima," the Khomsa is traditionally believed to offer protection, strength, and blessings. Its presence in Tunisian homes, jewelry, and textiles reflects a centuries-old spiritual heritage, woven deeply into everyday life. Meriem Bouderbala, an acclaimed visual artist known for her rich exploration of Tunisian identity, reimagines the Khomsa with a contemporary sensibility. Her interpretation blends authenticity with artistic freedom, resulting in a refined, timeless embroidery that honors ancestral craft while telling a new story. Each napkin is hand-embroidered with the utmost care by skilled artisans, ensuring that every piece is truly unique. Part of the Medina collection — a celebration of Tunisian heritage, craftsmanship, and modern design — this napkin elevates any table setting with its meaningful symbolism, artisanal beauty, and elegant simplicity.
