Fiziksel açıklama
Cover, silk satin embroidered with silk in running, straight and chain stitches, padded and quilted, backed with plain weave printed cotton. Displayed behind glass. Two pieces of yellow satin joined before being embroidered. There is a border with a green meander, leaves and a red or blue trefoil flower. This also forms the 3 sides of the central rectangular panel. The main border is on three sides. The ground is quilted in a diamond pattern with what looks like yellow silk. There is a fine green meander through elongated light or dark leaves with pink and red pointed flowers and smaller blue and pale-coloured pointed flowers. The central panel is divided into a lobed niche by a decorative band worked in a chevron pattern. The spandrels are not quilted but are divided into a diamond lattice by small red and white diamonds each with 2 pairs of small serrated leaves. Each diamond contains a small red or pale bud - the colours alternate in bands. The ground of the niche is quilted in a scale pattern with green silk. There are offset bands in which a pointed pink flower, buds and a left-curving stem alternating with a small almost circular carnation. One of these carnations is either side of a roundel in the upper part of the niche. Above it are 3 small pointed flowers. The roundel contains an inscription and the date 1226 AH. [1811AD]. There is an almost identical prayer mat in the collection (1410-1900) with a slightly different border and the same date; they may be from the same workshop.
