Description
The Palestinian keffiyeh, also known as the kufiya or hatta, is a traditional Middle Eastern scarf with significant cultural and political symbolism. It is typically made of a lightweight, square-shaped fabric, featuring a distinct black-and-white pattern. The design usually consists of a combination of bold, parallel lines intersecting in a grid or a fishnet pattern, symbolizing resilience and strength, and solid areas representing olive branches, which stand for peace and connection to the land.
The keffiyeh is traditionally worn as a headscarf to protect from the harsh desert sun and sand, but it has also become a symbol of Palestinian identity and resistance. It’s draped over the head, wrapped around the neck, or worn as a shawl. The colors and patterns may vary, but the black-and-white design is most closely associated with Palestinian heritage.
