Fiziksel açıklama
Sash of embroidered cotton with silk in double running stitch variations and combination and square eyelets. The border is outlined in hem stitch and the ends have been finished with Armenian edge stitch. There is a narrow enclosed border along both ends and it has an angular green meander decorated with branching lines, and some end in a red berry while adjacent pairs end with red or yellow lines and form stylised tulips. The main part of the decoration is formed by four offset bands each containing five or four repeated sprigs of green stems bearing either three red berries or two red and one yellow berry.
