ملاحظات
Turkish people wore sashes round their waists. They tied them so that the decorative ends hung below knee level. Women may have threaded narrow sashes such as this one through the waistband of their trousers to hold them in place. At the end of the 18th century embroidery designs began to develop into rigid and heavily stylised borders for towels and napkins. The colours were strong and embroiderers used greater quantities of metal thread. The designs were always inventive. The colours in some 19th century embroideries were originally very bright but they have faded to pleasing pastel shades.

Fiziksel açıklama
Sash of embroidered linen with metal thread in double darning arranged in geometric patterns and satin stitch. There is a narrow geometric border along either edge with a large floral spray above it forming a square pattern. This begins with a crescent shape from which one stem grows, quickly branching into a pair of stems which curve out and up. The central stem branches again into a pair of short stems, then continues through a central blossom, from which two more short diagonal stems emerge, and ends in a ragged flower. In total there are three ragged flowers and five blossoms.
