Waist girdle no. 101

Girdle made of silk and decorated with embroidered floral patterns. All three patterns are similar with those of Nos 102 and 105, but are mauve instead of blue. They consist of three bouquets in oblique arrangement. There are two types of flowers, namely four-petalled flowers in groups of four, and small blossoms, four on either side of the stem and one on top. Both stems are made of gold wire, and cross each other. Under the crossing the blossoms are repeated two on either side. The leaves are long and curved. Below the patterns runs a horizontal wavy line with small projections, a stylized form of a tendril, the same as in Nos 102 and 105. The filling stitch (dolgu işi) is also the same. Width: 17cm. Length: 2.00m.
