Abstract
There is no consensus about how Bedouin embroidery craft developed in the Negev region. A popular belief is that this embroidery, as decoration of women’s dresses, began to emerge in the 1920s and expanded into a recognizable phenomenon only in the 1930s. One of the hypotheses is that the embroidery patterns and techniques were imported from the Jerusalem area.
