The "makateeb = message" pattern originates from Gaza in the 1800s. The SEP Artists have chosen it for its symbolic meaning and have added their own artistic touch: many of the "messages" are incomplete - in memory of the children lost since October 7th.
The textile's quality is perfect. The handcraft is a masterpiece. Bonus : it smells so good. The Makateeb version is really unique. I am happy to know the person's name who did the piece I bought. I wish this person all the happiness in the world.
