Turkish Sachet with Evil Eye Motif

A pale, square cushion with an embroidered open eye in blue and white geometric corners.

This embroidered sachet with evil eye motif is from Turkey. It is embroidered silk & cotton. Small embroidered pouches are a traditional textile form in Turkey, where silk and cotton are often combined in decorative stitching. A soft, slightly puffy square pillow in oatmeal tone, embroidered with a large almond-shaped eye with a blue center and fine black lashes. Stepped diamond motifs in white thread decorate the center and corners. It is 8 inches wide and 7 long.

It keeps one very watchful eye on the sofa.
