1950s–1960s Hand-Embroidered Purse from Jerusalem
This incredible tote was handmade in Jerusalem during the 1950s–1960s. Hand-embroidered on hand-loomed cotton, it features elegant hand carved olive wood handles and reflects the extraordinary craftsmanship of historic tatreez co-ops that employed women. Fully handmade.
The design depicts a line of camels walking among palm trees, with dates (balah) in the branches; a joyful celebration of Bedouin culture and our deep connection to the land. 🌴🐪 The embroidery is on both sides of the bag. The colors on the design alternate.
Condition: In mint condition. No damages, tears, or stains.
