Middle Eastern Filästin Bedouin Ramallah Style Old Tatreez Embroidered Wuqaya Headdress with Tassels Buttons and Coins

The Wuqaya is a distinctive Palestinian headdress traditionally worn in Jerusalem and Ramallah, historically favored by brides and assembled with considerable care. This piece combines authentic twentieth-century Tatreez embroidery with replica coins and mother-of-pearl buttons, likely incorporating fabric from the West Bank or Jordan. Designed to be worn beneath a head veil, it carries the name "Wuqaya"—meaning protection—and represents a rare and meaningful element of Palestinian heritage and tradition.
