This anonymous 19th-century "Panel" is a fine example of embroidery from the Ottoman Empire. The artist created a repetitive pattern of blue leaves and red flowers against a white background, showcasing the intricate skill of Ottoman textile craftspeople. This panel, currently housed in the Minneapolis Institute of Art, is a testament to the beauty and artistry of traditional Turkish embroidery.
