Elizabeth Whyte Schulze – Tarboosh (Morocco Series)

“A large vessel with the upper part covered in rich red textured raffia and is in the shape of the well-known cap of Morocco. A figure with a tall woven hat stretches out her arms as she stands on the world proclaiming her concern for the health of the climate. Figures of women of different cultures gather near an elaborately mosaiced arch. Above the group of women in the red textured area is the hand of Fatima in blue raffia. The hand of Fatima is an important protection symbol for women in the community.”
