Fiziksel açıklama
Woollen twill embroidered with woollen thread in small straight stitches. Green ground with a central panel delineated by a narrow blue and black band. In the centre is a lobed lozenge outlined with a band of red and white trefoils alternating with a small orange circular outline. There is a red and blue 'sun' in the middle surrounded by 4 cypress trees and four small botehs. The field is covered with tiny floral motifs and random stitches. A fine red line forms a second lobed lozenge around the first. That space has tiny tree-like motifs on the green ground. The four corners are triangular and filled with stitches: a cypress tree and 2 botehs and a quarter section of a series of concentric circles. There is a wide border almost entirely covered with embroidery. The recognisable designs include cypress trees and two types of very curved botehs. A narrow outer border is edged with the white and red dots and contains a black meander with red carnations, blue flower heads and a black outlined boteh with 2 red dots. White stitches are used to outline the border and add detail. The edges of the cover are unembroidered green twill. Colours: Z2S; red, orange, blue, white, black, purple. For a similar piece see 1062-1875. Note: this is not identical to 874A-1877
