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)

It holds so many plugs!
Size: 6.5 Ft, Color: Black
I am using this to plug all of my Christmas village pieces in. I haven't used it yet, but it's going to be great to keep the plugs all in one area.

well designed
I have two of these. The number and orientation of outlets has fit all my needs. I haven't needed the USB's yet, but I'm glad they are there. The thin plug and off-center angle are very useful. One is in use under my three seat power reclining sofa, guitar multi-effects, and a couple lamps are plugged into it. The other is in a drawer powering the air pump, power filter, lighted hood and heater for the aquarium on top of the dresser it is in.

Needs better hardware
Size: 6ft Cord, Color: 20W_Black
Yoooooo great product but what is with the comically tiny screws? Actually installing this on the underside of a wooden desk is near impossible unless, of course, you are in fact a Disney princess and in charge of a team of handy-dandy mice all with #0 Phillips head screwdrivers and 5/32" drill bits. They drill, you hold, kind of thing.
