Description:
Inv. No. EE 3122a: Scarf made of thin cotton cloth dyed in green colour, with stamped motifs similar to the ones of Inv. No. 3122 of the Benaki Collection. The lace border (pipilla) comprises continuous green, three-partite branches, ending in a small flower. Green scarves were the first that ceased to be produced in Cyprus: they were worn by young women, who stopped using them in the course of the 20th century, thus causing a drop in demand. This scarf was part of the Karpasia attire Inv. No. EE 117. Only a few examples of green scarves survive in museum collections. Dimensions: 77x77 cm. Hadjimichali 1983, 394, fig. 422.
