A woman from the Feija community crafted this wool veil around 1930 in Imi n'Tatelt in the central Anti-Atlas. This two-colored Adrar displays a woven wool textile with a variety of cotton decorations in patterned stripes. The specific meanings of these patterns are known only to the Feija women who crafted this piece. However, a single rhombus with double sides represents a star. These star symbols (Itri) are considered to bring good fortune.
