This vintage Bedouin face veil, commonly known as the burqa', is a traditional garment worn by Bedouin women in the Southern Sinai desert region of Egypt. It dates back to the second half of the 20th century and features intricate embroidery in geometrical diamond patterns on its top band. This band is adorned with two rectangular, embossed brass elements with spherical dangles. They hang just above the eyes. The center of the band is embellished with two hands of Fatima. Attached to the ends through hoops, two hand woven bands, possibly a more recent addition, secure the veil to the head. Beads in shades of blue, red, orange, black, and white are woven into a long string and hang from either side of the top band.
The lower part of the veil is made of a sheer material, possibly silk, and is sewn on top of a backing textile made of a combination of stain and cotton. The top border is adorned with an x motif and the veil is further adorned with three rows of Ottoman coins, the largest is a medallion with Koranic verses. The veil is also decorated with brass elements and buttons. 

 

The veil is in good vintage condition. A similar veil can be seen in the Textile Research Center (Leiden) (TRC 2004.0066)

Disappointed
Color: S6-muti-color
These were great for about 20 minutes then they stopped squeaking...we have 2 left that I have saved but the other 4 do not squeak anymore...disappointed as my dog loves to squeak things...would not buy these again...My dog is only an 8lb dog too...but he can still play with the balls without the squeak...

Great Value for a ball my dog loves!
Color: S6-muti-color
I wish these ball were in the subscription program! My dog gets sooo excited by the new ball, but her interest in things lasts for a few days. She kills the squeak within 11minutes, but the squeaker stays in place rather than becoming a chocking or swallow hazard, and she still loves to chew it. Next, we must throw the ball approximately 723 times the first day, possibly 496 times on day 2, and just 3- 4 on day 3, at which point she will chase the ball before hollering "it's over here if you need it," while she checks on the chipmunk den. We currently have 17 of these balls in our yard (because we have given several leftovers to a less discriminating doodle next door). These balls hold up really well, get her extremely active for the first couple of days, and are a much cheaper than doggie daycare (after an active morning with a new ball, she is happy to chew on it and sleep much of the day). I always have these on hand!

Pieces chewed off
Color: white & green
My Aussiedoodle loves it. I throw it down the hallway, it bounces crazy, and he chases it. The only complaint is that he can't chew much of the ball part. So now I have to have it put away and brought out for special playtime.
