Label copy

Densely patterned in a palette of blue, red, green, and yellow, this hanging is one of the earliest Ottoman embroideries in the RISD Museum collection. It features several typically Turkish design elements: vertical serpentine bands with scale-like designs, artichoke palmettes, and the çintamani motif of three balls or crescents. This panel has been patched in several places, probably with pieces taken from its missing lower border.
