Asali "Honey" Thob from Jerusalem, circ. 1940
Clay thobes are a stunning way to preserve Palestinian cultural heritage and decorate your home with a piece of Palestine. Each piece takes the artist one week to 10 days to mold, dry, carve, paint in acrylics and glaze. The artist makes these clay dresses with precision and love, as they are artistic sculptures that take considerable time and effort through their several stages.
The Palestinian clay thob (dress) was conceptualized in 2016, to install the image of the Palestinian dress on the wall of every home as a way to honor and preserve the heritage of Palestinian ancestors.
