Four henna dyed Berber wool scarves, Anti Atlas Mountains, Morocco

illustrated probably Ait Abdallah people, Central Anti Atlas, the remainder variously with supplementary brocading, tassles and pom poms

Please see Paydar, N.I. & Grammet, I. ed., The Fabric of Moroccan Life, Indianapolis Museum of Art, 2002, pp.272-273, for henna dyed scarves with a simple 'horizon line', by the Ait Abdallah people.  Korolnik-Andersch, Annette, Henna Painting on Textiles, pp.267-273 in Paydar, op.cit., refers on p.269 to 'a type of scarf with U-shaped henna painting.....only recently come to light'; this headscarf is an outstanding example for the incorporation of a stylised cityscape with the U-shaped indents along the horizon line.
