This piece of art was part of the wedding trousseau. The bride to be would bring all the basic linen necessary to build a home.
Among these was a throw, carrying symbols of the family’s name, village, region and other designs representing their identity. It was usually placed on the foot of the bed to embellish the room, as a shawl for cold winters or as an ornament on the living room chair. This piece of linen carried the family’s story and was handed over from mother to daughter as a sign of love and lineage.
