Fiziksel açıklama
The collar is an elongated U-shaped with the curved part falling behind the head and across the shoulders. The two arms of the U fall over the chest. An attached band is missing from the inside of the right hand section. The cotton ground is covered with couched silver metal thread (now worn). There are three large blossoms with curved leaves and floral sprigs on each of the front panels and a floral sprig coming from a vase at the back. Note added 9th October 2000: a similar collar, forming a square neck, can be seen on an open-fronted gown c.1850 sold at Phillips and published in Roderick Taylor's "Ottoman Embroidery" (1993 p. 56). See also T.169-1985 which is a similar but probably older collar.
