The Ramallah dress was made of undyed linen that was
sometimes imported from Europe. Although it could be worn
year-round, it was considered to be more appropriate for
summer. Unlike dresses in most other regions, the Ramallah
dress was decorated primarily in different shades of red silk
cross-stitch. The embroidery is more restrained than in other
regions, generally being limited to the chest panel and two
narrow vertical branches that frame the front and back part of
the dress skirt. The dress is decorated with the S-shaped “leech”
pattern flanking multiple rows of “tall palms” and eight-pointed
star motifs. The heavily embroidered horseshoe-shaped
headdress (saffeh) is decorated with a row of coins that represent
the woman’s bridewealth. A chin-chain with a Maria Theresa
coin hangs from the headdress.
