Description
This textile is woven using undyed linen in a technique called a tabby weave. The artist then used red, blue, white, and ochre yellow silk threads to create embroidered floral borders and designs in each corner, topped with several birds. The style of these motifs also strongly resembles Turkish embroideries made in this period.
