3 Velvet Cushion Cover with Rosebuds
Turkey, probably Bursa
1625–50
This cushion design consists of seven large staggered roundels set against a red ground. Each roundel holds a leafy branch of five red roses arching over boldly striped crescents. The upper and lower borders of the cushion are marked with six arched lappets, which repeat these motifs in a smaller format.
