Excellent handmade scarf edged with intricately crocheted flat flower beads from an Anatolian bridal chest... Unique!

Anatolia’s thousand and one species of plants and gaily colored flowers are reborn in the imagination and inner eye of its women. Traditionally, a Turkish young girl and women in her family make many scarves with various edgings (Turkish lace, beaded etc.)  and keep them in a bridal chest along with the other Turkish handicraft until the girl gets married. After the marriage the woman wears some of them and later puts them in the chest again, this time to keep for her daughters.

The scarves may be used as headdresses, funeral head coverings, the edges of towels and napkins and as decorative elements in many other places.

Here is a very nice scarf with beaded edging! You can use this lovely scarf for many purposes: as a shawl, headdress, belt, necklace, wristband, bandana, table-spread etc.

Wonderful design and perfect craftsmanship...
