Traditional Arafat Keffiyeh from Palestinian Factory in Red on White This red and white keffiyeh holds a strong connection to both Palestinian and Jordanian heritage. The red pattern is particularly associated with Jordan, where it is a symbol of Bedouin culture and identity. Made by a Palestinian factory that has its origins in Jericho before fleeing the 1948 Nakba and reopening in Jordan. It was among the first factories in Palestine in its day and has been making Palestinian kufiyas for decades. The keffiyeh has become an important symbol of Palestinian resistance. In the 30s it was worn, and embraced as an image, by the armed guerillas who prosecuted armed rebellion against the British occupiers of Palestine. Until that period, the keffiyeh had primarily marked its wearer as rural, as a peasant, Fallah, or a Bedouin.

Palestinian Embroidery Motifs 1850-1950: A Treasury of Stitches | Tatreez Book Unlike previously published books on Palestinian Embroidery, this book, Palestinian Embroidery Motifs 1850-1950: A Treasury of Stitches , is the first to document all the different motifs by origin and names used on the old dresses. The tradition of embroidery is one of the great art forms of village life in Palestine. From mother to daughter, each generation added new inspirations to the traditional designs.
