Southern Tunisia

The front panel features beautiful Arab-Andalusian motifs, traditional to Tunisian art. No lining, except for green silk bias tape along the edges of the embroidery. No flaws, aside from a slight patina and a few loose threads in the embroidery. Overall good condition in terms of color and preservation. Guaranteed Pierre Loti spirit!
