Embroidered silk satin with silk, silver-gilt and metal threads, lined with silk
Fiziksel açıklama
Purse, probably for a watch, a mohr tablet or an amulet, of embroidered silk satin with laid and couched metal thread and silks in chain stitch, and trimmed with silk cord. Lined with plain weave silk. Tear-drop shape. The case is flat with a slit opening round the pointed end. The black satin ground is patterned with a whirling sun motif inside the tear-drop form, itself emphasised by four decorative outlines, all incorporating metal thread. The sun, and three of the four coiled looped outlines are in metal thread couched with orange silk. A narrow line of chain stitch in purple silk separates this grouping of outlines from the last of black silk cord with metal thread. The side seam is embellished with purple silk cord with silver-gilt thread forming two small loops at the apex of the opening. The metal thread consists of a silver strip close Z-wound on a deep orange silk core, a silver strip close wound on white silk core, and silver-gilt strip close Z-wound on orange silk core.
