Posted by Peter Hoesli on December 2, 2016 at 5:22am

As you can see, one of my favorite shops is Riyadh's Souk Al Zal was open yesterday!This is an ultra rare, high silver bracelet and not equally rare silver and bead embroidered ladies head cover.I found yesterday a few Rashaideh fabrics, which I wanted to buy some time ago but always found the doors of the shop closed... not this time!All of the fabrics are in a fantastic condition and I will post them later on together with some other silver beauties... This is bedouine art at its best!
