Tahriri Square Pillow Cover

Among the many embroidery styles of Palestine, Tahriri stands out for its elegance and freedom. Originating from Bethlehem and Beit Jala, this technique is crafted using couching stitches long threads laid gracefully on the fabric and secured with fine, perpendicular stitches. Traditionally, artisans used silk or metallic gold threads on deep velvet, adorning bridal gowns and festive attire. The word “Tahriri” itself means "liberated," a fitting reflection of the Palestinian spirit and artistic resilience. Every flowing line in this embroidery tells a story of grace, patience, and identity carried through generations. 

The Tahriri Square Pillow is embroidered on one side with a beautiful “evil eye” design and is  stitched with care by women artisans from the West Bank. Pillow cover is made of a cotton blend fabric with an envelope closure and is machine washable (gentle cycle). Measurements:  16” x 16”

Pillow insert not included.
