Fiziksel açıklama
Plain weave cotton, probably hand woven, embroidered with silk in straight stitches with pulled thread work and needleweaving; whitework. Pieced; perhaps it was originally much wider and it now forms an irregular square of three pieces. The three non-selvedge edges are rolled and stitched in place. The central area has a broken, irregular cross-form with lozenges and squares in a net of pulled thread work, but without symmetry because of the piecing together. Small 8-pointed stars in straight stitch are scattered on the field. The corner units are filled with narrow diagonal bands with [originally] a triangular unit of pulled thread work pointing into the centre. The border frame is a composite one with a narrow band of pulled thread lozenges [a], then circular forms of pulled thread [b] followed by a wider band of straight stitched lozenges edged with pulled thread work. Then a repeat of bands [b] and [a]. Cotton thread: Z-spun Embroidery Thread: white silk, 2S One seam is finely worked with silk; the other uses different thread and is cruder.
