ملاحظات
At the end of the 18th century embroidery designs began to develop into rigid and heavily stylised borders for towels and napkins. The colours of 18th and 19th century embroideries were originally very bright but many have faded to pleasing pastel shades; often great quantities of metal thread were used. Napkins were mainly used to clean fingers during meals, but were also used as decoration and as covers. Their designs were consistently inventive.

Fiziksel açıklama
Towel/Napkin, cotton embroidered with silk in double darning, double running in a line and musabak stitch, and with plate in musabak and padded satin stitch. The narrow border along the ends and up the sides of the border is worked in metal thread.The border consists of two alternating motifs, both worked in metal thread: a small building on a mound and a large structure which resembles a minbar. Above and below these are predominantly dark pink and red flowers. There are some small cypress trees and isolated sprigs below. One side has been cut and hemmed
