Turkish Sachet with Star Motif

Pillow the size of a postcard, bearing one large outlined star.

This embroidered sachet with a star motif is from Turkey. Star motifs occur in Turkish and Anatolian textiles in many forms, from simple eight-pointed shapes to elaborate rosettes worked in colored thread. Small plump cushion in off-white woven cloth, with a long loop at the top corner. A five-pointed star is traced in glinting golden thread, with a zigzag edge to the stitching. The surface is slightly nubby. It is 3.75 inches wide and 3 long.

All the glitter, none of the weight.
