Cream tabby woven silk ground with a red selvedge on some of the fragments. Tambour work embroidery in polychrome floss silk and a small amount of damaged metal thread. The decoration is of repeating floral sprays. The drawing is exposed where the embroidery has worn away or not followed the outline. Each motif originally stood alone but are now worked with a linking vertical line, the embroidery forming a continuous meandering stem.
History note: Inherited by the donor from his father who was a doctor and resident in Istanbul for many years.
