The Southall Collection is a major collection of Palestinian Dress dating from 1900-1930. It includes garments and accessories worn by nomadic Bedouin people as well as men, women and children living in Ramallah and Bethlehem.

This early 20th century men's cloak or abayeh consists of two pieces of hand-woven coarse wool, in black and cream, sewn together horizontally at approximately the hipline.
