Palestinian Bedouin Kohl Container Textile Decorated with Mirror, Beads and popular Tassels - Rita Okrent Collection (AA560)

Collectible Palestinian Bedouin Kohl Container Decorated with Mirror, Beads and Tassels.

Circa 1940's to 1950's.

A vintage, collectible item. Hard to find these authentic vintage kohl containers in the souk these days. This was vintage when Rita collected it in the 1980's.

7 inches tall, 8 inch tall including tassels. 5 inches wide. Weighs 150 grams/ 5 oz.

Needs a little mending to connect the mirror back to the textile. Nice old embroidery / textile. This has been sitting safely in our inventory for a long time.

For reference and more information on kohl containers, see Jolanda Bos's book on kohl containers, Paint it Black.
