Fiziksel açıklama	Stiff, narrow sash. Half of its length is decorated with loosely bound gilt weft in two patterns, with the beginning of a third at the end. These are basically star-like motifs with or without a surrounding lattice. The pattern is formed by the pink ground. The other half is divided into three bands, with the beginning of a fourth near the end: two bands have the same loosely-woven gilt weft, this time on a green ground. The designs are based on stars and are formed by the ground colour. The other two bands are decorated with a typical design resembling an archway at the top of a flight of stairs. This is a multi-coloured design with pink predominating. The fringes are formed by warp threads being worked into cords.
