Description
The following description was prepared by William Gross:
Such textiles were embroidered by a bride before her marriagefor use as a table covering for Shabbat and holidays. There are recorded about 15 textiles of this sort. The embroidered inscriptions often contain Kabbalistic material. This piece has the unusual feature of bearing a date in the inscription. Most are undated. The coloring and the form of the flowers are typical for design in many Jewish objects from the Kurdish part of Iran.
