  • These are excellent textiles, they appear to by dyed with indigo. The top with the decorative buttons could come from Egypt or even Yemen -- but I am assuming they are from North Africa. i am wondering if the textile to the left is embroidered or has a woven pattern.

  • Just found some more examples of these excellent textiles from Siwa online.The-House-of-Siwa-in-Siwa-Egypt.jpg

  • the shawl and tunic comes from the Siwa Oasis and they are embroidered,the tunic is decorated with mother of pearl buttons
