Habesha Kemis – Zuria (ዙርያ)

Zuria (ዙርያ) is a traditional Habesha dress known for its elegant, flowing silhouette and timeless craftsmanship. It is typically made from soft, handwoven white cotton fabric with a naturally textured finish that creates a graceful drape. The dress features a wide, comfortable fit with long sleeves and a modest V-shaped neckline. The defining feature of the Zuria is its vibrant Tibeb (ጥልፊ) embroidery, beautifully woven along the neckline, chest panel, sleeve cuffs, and lower hem. The intricate geometric patterns are highlighted with rich colors such as royal blue, gold, red, green, and orange, creating a striking contrast against the white fabric. Every embroidered detail is carefully arranged to showcase the beauty of traditional Habesha artistry while maintaining a refined and balanced appearance. ዙርያ (Zuria) ናይ ሃበሻ ባህላዊ ክዳን ኮይኑ፣ ብንጹህ ነጭ ናይ ጥጥ ጨርቂ ዝተሰርሐ እዩ። እቲ ክዳን ሰፊሕን ንሰውነት ዝተስማማዕን ቅርጺ ኣለዎ፣ ረዥም እጅጌን ውቁብ ዝኾነ ናይ V ቅርጺ ክሳድን ኣለዎ። እቲ ዝበለጸ መለለዪ ዙርያ ድማ ኣብ ክሳድ፣ ማእከል ክፍሊ ክዳን፣ መወዳእታ እጅጌን ጫፍ ክዳንን ዝተሰርሐ ውቁብ ጥልፊ (Tibeb) እዩ። እቲ ጥልፊ ብሰማያዊ፣ ወርቃዊ፣ ቀይሕ፣ ሓምላይን ብርቱካናዊን ሕብርታት ተሸሊሙ ኮይኑ፣ ኣብ ነጭ ጨርቂ ውቁብን ሚዛናዊን ገጽታ ይፈጥር።
