Turkish Sachet with Crescent and Star Motif

Little cushion with a crescent and a tiny star, stitched like a secret.

This embroidered sachet with a crescent and star motif is from Turkey. Embroidery is a major domestic art in Turkey, where needleworkers have long decorated cloth with floral and geometric designs for use in the household. Small square pillow in natural off-white cloth, with a loop at one corner for hanging. A glinting golden crescent is stitched on the front, enclosing a small eight-rayed star. The weave is coarse and the corners are soft. It is 3.75 inches wide and 3 long.

Soft enough for a nap, fancy enough to hang.
