Syrian embroidered vintage robe in Palestinan style

SOLD

Size: long / slim

This beautiful deep indigo cotton robe was obtained from a Palestinian refugee camp in the 1970s. Certain decorative elements chime with a Palestinian style but the cut and shape is most definitely Syrian, possibly the result of some inter-marriage. The robe is unlined but the cloth from which it is made is fairly heavy in weight and handwoven. 

50% of the proceeds of this sale will be donated to The Galilee Foundation - a project to provide educational scholarships

• mid 1930s (the use of DMC thread in the embroidery)
