Turkish
 


An extremely rare and unusual Turkish embroidery.
The materials used for this bocha are very typically Turkish. However the embroidery itself is very avant-garde.
At the bottom of one of the tents ,the rigging is in the form of a togra.
The use of thread is very unusual -using the texture to form part of the design .
I think this embroidery has a Sufi connection. Sufism is the mystical side of Islam.
Measurements: 96 cm's square
