Panel late 19th-early 20th century

This late 19th to early 20th century Ottoman embroidered textile, "Panel", is a fine example of traditional Turkish craftsmanship. The textile, now in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, features intricate geometric designs and floral motifs in vibrant hues of orange, yellow, and green, stitched onto a natural linen ground. The repeating patterns of stylized flowers and abstract shapes likely represent a symbolic interpretation of natural elements and possibly hold cultural significance within Ottoman traditions. The design's precision and vibrant colors showcase the skillful execution of the unknown Ottoman artist.
