DescriptionOld #3373: Jubbeh or Durrāʻa (ca. 1860) This jubbeh is also from the Galilee, but is less ceremonial than the other two (old #s 3359 & 3373). It, therefore, cannot be classified as a jillayeh. There is no appliqué work except on the inside (!) of the lower front corners. There is a small, stand-up collar which also sets this jubbeh apart. The embroidery on the lower back is similar to that found on jubbeh no. 3364, though less ornate. Length: 125 cm. Width: 67 cm.

Navy and rose linen ground, embroidered and appliques in satin. Inner panel at front well lined with striped satin.
