This antique Art Deco Egyptian Assuit white net diamond design silver shawl scarf dates from the 1920s.

These shawls are also known as Tulle-bi-telli, Assuit, Asyut, Assyut, Assiut. Tulle-bi-telli translates roughly as "net with metal". The shawls were made popular during the 1920s with the discovery of King Tut's tomb and were made in Assiut, Egypt.
