Notes
This detailed wedding dress was seen in a mosaic from the Roman era. But the special nature of this wonderful dress lies not only in its cut, which is standard for all wedding clothes in Tunisia, but in its intricate decoration, which reflects Andalusian influence. The typical feature of this garment made in Raf Raf on the northern coast of Tunisia is the central, sweeping band embroidered with gold and silver and decorated with sequins. The defending hand acts as a symbol of protection.
