The embroideries have the same flowers, serrated leaves and other motifs as the woven silks, but their shapes are often less well-defined. \r\n\r\nThe embroideries required less costly materials (mainly linen and silk thread) and women could make them in their own homes. Large panels served as quilt-covers and hangings. Smaller pieces were used as napkins, sashes and towels, and for wrapping one’s possessions on the way to the public bath. \r\n\r\nMost of the embroidery is done in simple stitches, such as darning stitch, couching and running stitch.","physicalDescription":"Hanging, linen embroidered with silk in regular surface darning over three threads and split stitch (border).\r\nMade from three widths joined after being embroidered.\r\nThe border consists of a broken meander with a fine green stem with diagonal ragged blue leaves, red tulips, blue hyacinth sprays and small white flowers.  There are red diagonal bars at intervals containing a green line with two white flowerheads.\r\nThe field is decorated with undulating parallel stems which are red and contain a green line with white flowerheads.  Small red carnations and blue hyacinths come from the parallel stems as do large red tulip and blue ragged leaves, both of which contain internal floral ornamentation.","artistMakerPerson":[{"name":{"text":"Unknown","id":"A1848"},"association":{"text":"","id":""},"note":""}],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[{"text":"linen","id":"x29412"},{"text":"silk thread","id":"x30127"}],"techniques":[{"text":"weaving","id":"AAT53642"},{"text":"embroidering","id":"AAT53653"},{"text":"sewing","id":"AAT53658"}],"materialsAndTechniques":"Linen, embroidered with silk in regular surface darning over three threads; made from three widths joined after being embroidered","categories":[{"text":"Textiles","id":"THES48885"},{"text":"Embroidery","id":"THES48960"}],"styles":[{"text":"Ottoman","id":"AAT21614"}],"collectionCode":{"text":"MES","id":"THES48607"},"images":["2006AL8107","2006AV9170","2006AV9169","2006AL8106","2011FD2937","2017JW4351"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"017","id":"THES305983"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Hanging","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Turkey","id":"x29225"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"17th century","earliest":"1600-01-01","latest":"1700-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Length","value":"250","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"166","unit":"cm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"","earliest":null,"latest":null},"part":"","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"plus roller","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"Embroidered linen hanging or quilt-cover, Turkey, 1600-1700.","bibliographicReferences":[{"reference":{"text":"Marianne Ellis and Jennifer Wearden.
