Women from the Feija community created this woolen women’s garment around 1933 in Afouzar. The light Tahdicht was painted on both sides so that the color could fulfill its protective function on both sides. The four corners have been designed, with the corner designs incorporating elements of historic jewelry from the Feija community. Along the edges, there are also hill-like motifs that connect the corners.
