Handmade Moroccan Handira Pouf: Berber Wedding Blanket Ottoman 03YL0464

Moroccan wedding blankets (Handira) are a marriage celebration tradition that originated with the Berber tribes, they are meticulously handwoven out of sheeps wool, cotton and linen in anticipation of a wedding by the brides female relatives. It can take hours, even weeks of work to attach metal mirrored sequins (which are authentic elements of Handira throws) once the weaving is complete. These ornate pieces hold significant cultural meaning for the tribes. Throws, poufs and pillows of this style have recently become an international trend. Our breathtaking decorative Floor pillows take original, historic Handira and up-cycle them into easy to fill cases which we have embellished with colorful threads and more metal sequins for a modern and bright appearance. Your floor pillow will arrive unstuffed, and can be filled through the zippered canvas back. Approximate Dimensions: 19" x 18" x 6" 48.5cm x 45.5cm x 15cm Due to the handmade nature of the Handira we use, slight character-enhancing imperfections and irregularities may be noticeable upon close inspection which shouldnt be viewed as defects but instead considered to add to its beauty and authenticity and attest to its value as a treasured tribal item!
