The tatreez pattern with its bold geometric symmetry, vibrant red and pink floral motifs, and concentrated chest panel, strongly resembles styles traditionally associated with Ramallah and surrounding central West Bank villages.

- Chest Panel (Qabba): The central vertical embroidery is a hallmark of Ramallah thobes, often featuring dense geometric and floral motifs.
- Color Palette: The use of red and pink threads on black fabric is common in Ramallah and nearby areas like al-Bireh and Beitunia.
- Symmetry and Motif Arrangement: The balanced layout and shoulder embellishments are typical of central Palestinian embroidery styles, where tatreez served as a visual language indicating regional origin and social status.
