Fiziksel açıklama
Embroidered cotton scarf with silk and metal thread. Very fine cotton with a narrow rolled hem secured with red silk stitching. The embroidery is worked with coloured silks (red, pink, green, light blue, light brown, beige, dark green, brown and black) and with gold thread. Probably worked in a fine tambour stitch, as it gives the impression of being double-sided but is not. The centre is plain. The borders are decorated with a floral meander based on a brown/black line.
