(64.8 x 120.7cm)Silk velvetCourtesy of the Doris Duke Foundation for Islamic Art83.51This silk textile, or çatma, was woven in the first half of the 1700s in Bursa in present-day Turkey during the rule of the Ottoman empire. Its bold pattern is composed of rows of eight-lobed medallions containing rosebuds and delicate hyacinth stems. Its border is lined with medallions decorated with rosebuds and carnations. The çatma was probably created as a maq’ad, or “sitting cloth,” intended to cover the sedir, the main furnishing of an Ottoman household that was used as a seating area during the day and as a sleeping quarters at night.Textiles64.77000000001647935241
