AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
Traditional headdress, richly embroidered for a child.
Characterized by its golden metal threads and its rigid structure.
This traditional headdress from Central Asia and the Middle East is frequently worn by children during festive or religious celebrations.
The embroidery with golden metal threads and the reliefs on the base were designed to reflect light during presentation ceremonies or religious festivals.
This headdress was purchased from an antique dealer in Istanbul about twenty years ago.
The full goldwork embroidery technique (Zardozi) on a dark velvet background seems to be the signature of the imperial workshops of Bukhara.
Materials
- The crown: metal alloy stamped with floral motifs
- The cap: gold threads / metal threads
- Internal structure: sturdy cardboard fully covered with fabric (dark velvet)
Dimensions: crown height 8 cm
Diameter: 19 cm
