ملاحظات
Turkish people wore sashes round their waists. They tied them so that the decorative ends hung below knee level. 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, linen embroidered with silk in double darning and double running in a line, and with metal thread in double darning on the diagonal, fishbone and satin stitches. The edges around the border have been worked with Armenian edge stitch. There is a narrow border in the form of a double meander with one green silk stem and one metal thread stem linking flowerheads which are predominantly pink or blue. The deep border at either end of the sash consists of a spray of five pink blossoms: the central one is almost semi-circular with a green and gold centre; the four remaining ones, one in each corner, are very rounded and have small green spiky leaves protruding from them. In between the blossoms are sprays with small green or blue pointed leaves and pink spkiy flowers. One side has been cut and hemmed.
