ملاحظات
A kerchief is a square cloth with a narrow decorative border along all four sides. People used them on their heads or shoulders or tied them around their hips. At the end of the 18th century embroidery designs began to develop into rigid and heavily stylised borders for towels and napkins. The colours are 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.

Kerchief, cotton embroidered with silk in double running stitch variations and with metal thread in satin stitch and double running in a line. The kerchief is decorated with a narrow border along four sided with an additional diagonal floral motif in each corner. The border consists a house-like structure on a hill alternating with a large pink flower and a pair of cypress trees. The kerchief has been trimmed with a lace-like edging.
