The side panel from a woman’s garment (‘chyrpy’) exhibiting a design type that is typical of the design pool associated with the textile art of the Tekke.  The design consists of silk embroidery on a blue/green handloomed silk ground cloth.  The brilliant colors reflect a palette
associated with textiles from the late 19^th century, especially the clear yellow dyed silk.  The clear madder red is quite attractive with none of the brownish color quality typical of the truly later examples from the 20^th century.

The work is fine, the condition is good, and all the colors are derived from natural dyes.
