| Notes | Ceremony was an important part of daily life in the Ottoman Court. During the daily shave by the court barber, the Sultan's cloths were protected with an ornate and richly embroidered apron and decorated hand towels were also used. Embroidered barber's aprons, called berber futasi were also used by wealthy Ottoman men. This collar is from a barber's apron and would have been attached to a larger rectangle of fabric (also embroidered) that draped over the body protecting the wearer's clothes. |
