Small Tally Scarf

EGP1,200.00

Tally is a special form of embroidery with silver or gold threads. Currently, it is metal plated with gold or silver- mostly embroidered on Egyptian cotton tulle or hand-woven scarves.
Many of the motifs that the artisans use tell a story. The Motifs are mostly from the popular wedding culture of Upper Egypt, and their roots go further back in time.
The artisan makes one stitch at a time, then cuts the thread off and moves on to work on the next stitch. This gives the design the exact same shape when seen from the back or the front. Each stitch takes about 1 minute / 1 minute 30 seconds.
The tally community has about 300 active women who work on embroidery, crochet and oya tassels – Round Tassels that look like bonbon and they are made from thread waste.

Approximate dimensions: 35 cm * 2 m
