Exceptionally fine wool Handira or small Haik from Tafraoute, in the Souss region of southern Morocco. Very rare and early and in overall good condition. Incredible fine spinning of wool makes this an almost gauze-like textile with accents of silk brocade work. A lovely minimalist textile from 19th century.
