  • In the 17th century many Ottoman textiles were decorated with wavy parallel lines which run along the length of the fabric. Sometimes equal emphasis is given to the stems and to the flowers but often the stems become secondary and are overwhelmed by the sheer abundance of blossoms. In some later examples the stems have disappeared but the diagonally placed flowers remain, in bands facing alternately left and right. Textiles such as this, worked in atma with two shades and red and two shades of blue, are difficult to date: the design is 17th century but the technique and palette are not typical. It is possible that they come from the eastern Ottoman Empire. (en)
