Bedouin Pillow Covers
Palestinian embroidery is a special and unique art form, passed down from grandmothers to daughters in both Bedouin and Fallahi (villager) societies in Palestine. In the Jahalin camp in Alazariyya village (East Jerusalem), Bedouin women have continued this craft, passed down from their grandmothers who were displaced in 1948 from the Negev. They’ve combined the Be’er Sheva pattern that their grandmothers taught them with what they’ve learned from the area they live in now.
