Description: Originating from a culture celebrated for their black-and-red geometrically patterned dresses, the Rashaida are distinguished by their long and heavy burkas/veils, intricately embroidered with silver thread, beads, and sometimes pearls. This impressive example boasts hammered silver thread meticulously woven into thin patterns, framing the face with a touch of elegance. Yellow beads on the protruding part between the eyes serve as a unique separator, complemented by a row of gold-colored coins over the eyes. The bottom part showcases the distinctive vowel geometric patterns for which the Rashaida people are known, adorned with small metal pearls made from tin to accentuate the geometrical decoration. The cultural richness embedded in every detail makes this veil a true work of art. Originating from the Rashaida, who migrated to Eritrea and northeastern Sudan from Saudi Arabia in 1846, this veil holds not just visual appeal but also historical significance. Descendants of Arab tribes from the Hijaz, the Rashaida are the sole remaining true nomadic people in Eritrea, having migrated due to ethnic warfare in Saudi Arabia. Each veil is a testament to Bedouin craftsmanship, reflecting the individuality of both the maker and the wearer. Explore the allure of tradition, artistry, and cultural identity with this exceptional Bedouin Rashaida Veil. Elevate your collection with a piece that transcends fashion, embodying the timeless elegance of a bygone era."
