Notlar
Elaborate discs were worn as womenâs head ornaments in towns and villages throughout the Ottoman Empire. They were attached to the top of a cap or fez, and often had pendants hanging down from the rim. The details varied from place to place. This example was bought by the Museum at the International Exhibition, London in 1872 for seven shillings as an example of traditional Syrian jewellery. Although it appears very rich it is made of base metal coated in silver and then gold. Its name was given as â Kors tarboosh â, meaning a disc worn on the fez, when it was acquired. This Arabic expression was the name usually used in Egypt and Syria. In the Balkans and Anatolia the Turkish name tepelik , meaning a small mound, was more common.
