Fiziksel açıklama
Collar, in two parts. These pieces appear of be part of a stand-up collar from a manâs suit. The discoloured piece has two hooks attached to one end; the other piece has two metal eyes. While it is possible they came off a diplomatic uniform, the workmanship (not particularly good) and the large number of sequins suggest that they come from a formal suit form some area within the Ottoman Empire. Each piece tapers slightly towards the end with the fastening. Each piece is made from red velvet, which was stretched over a stiffened shape (possibly card) and secured on the reverse to a backing of glazed white cotton with rather crude yellow cotton stitches. The cleaned piece includes a selvedge down one end â yellow, green and red twill. The decoration on both panels is almost identical: the ground is virtually covered with gilt sequins on top of which are lines of gold metal purl.
