moroccan high atlas berber handira or cape. Because of the intense winter cold woollen capes are extensively used by men and women in the mountain ranges. The warps or foundation threads are of very fine hand spun wool and the wool used for the actual flat weave is usually the softest and best quality. It is possible in an example like this to feel the natural lanolin in the wool and no dyes have been used. a very similar old example is shown in Plate 235 in "Splendeurs du Maroc". They can be worn or make fabulous throws on sofas or benches. Reference 2487. Size 158 x 115cms. 5ft.2in. x 3ft.9in. Euros 525.
