Moroccan Velvet Pillow - Cobalt Black A177460 A flock of Royal TernsThe small scale medallions repeated across the fabric are influenced by the Moroccan tile work often seen in the homes of North Africa. Painted in the artist's bright bohemian colors, the tiles warm and brighten any space, just like the Moroccan sun.
