| Object history | Registered File no. 1930/7447. This is one end of the ends of a long strip embroidered with a deep border at each end and narrow borders along the sides. They seem to have served as head kerchiefs, but some may have been sewn together in threes for curtains, like the well-known Algerian curtains. |
