Woven from the resilient fibers of the Saharan aloe vera cactus — often called cactus silk or Sabra silk — this pillow measures approximately 20"(L) x 18"(H). Finished with a tasseled corner tie and raw fringe detail. Each piece is one of a kind; small variation in stitch and size is part of its handmade character.

This is a handmade Moroccan cactus silk pillow, approximately 20"x18", in linen with corner X motifs and a central stacked diamond medallion.
