Price €210.00MA1016-561
This captivating example of an old Berber woman's shawl, -takhardit or tahruyt-, from the group of the Aït Atta is likely to be among the most easily recognisable of the garments of that kind worn by the members of this group together with their reputed handiras. The reason for that is probably the appealing colourful and fastastic artisan embroidered decoration usually distributed on both sides of a longitudinal axis or -tananmmast- which constitute yet another wonderful evidence of the awesome and vast Berber iconography. These shalws are equally used as such as wells as to cover the head and tpart of the face and, in case of the Aï Khabbash subgroup of the Aït Atta, are frequently further decorated with pompoms and small sequins.v The large confederation of the Aït Atta inhabits an extense area on the High Atlas from the Draa valley to the Ziz valley. Cotton. Some small tears and old repairs. A superb piece in all senses.
