A superb Moroccan woman's silk antique city or citadine belt or sash -hezam o hzam- from Tetouan or, possibly, Fes. It features a wonderful woven work with an incredibly rich combination of colors and decorative motifs that show a clear influence from Andalousia. Among these motifs there are flowers, fruits and  khamsa motifs at both ends. A usual feature of these pieces is the combination of at least two main designs, very often four, with contrasting colors. However when worn only of the designs is visible. Likewise it is common that the background color changes in the middle of the sash. With fringe. Wear commesurate with age. Early XIXth century. A great collector's piece.
