Moroccan Wedding Blanket Pillow Handmade Berber Sequin Cushion Cover 03YL0489

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. This pillow cover was embellished with fringe trim and more threads and sequins for a modern and unique appearance. Your pillow will arrive unstuffed, and can be filled through the zippered canvas back. Approximate Dimensions: 19" x 17.5" 48cm x 44cm
