Description:
Yellow headscarf made from an extremely fine cotton fabric. All around the edges, there is a dense printed decoration of repeated floral compositions of a variety of closely arranged, extremely delicate flowers. The floral motifs appear in green, brown and white colours, which stand out vividly against the yellow background. The four corners are occupied by a larger composition of similar flowers and leaves. The centre of the headscarf features a wreath, consisting of six bouquets, similar to those that frame the corner patterns.
