Ilbed n´Tislatin. Old Berber headscarf
Morocco
MA0412-022
A stunning old Berber headscarf -Ilbed n´Tislatin or Ilbed n´Tghri- from the group of the Aït Atta in the Moroccan High Atlas. Tie-dyed wool. Though it is sometimes described as a bread cover its use is quite different. It is worn during the wedding celebrations as a headscarf tied with green silk straps and silver chains. It is very likely that its owner only wore it once at her wedding. A true piece of Berber art. Mid-XXth century or earlier.
