#33: Mamluk Sash

mamluk
A pattern darned Mamluk Sash, worked as Royal Presentation gift to Qadiya Shayka Lilya bint Hizir on behalf of the Worshipful Company of Broderers (WCOB) of Lochac.

This piece was based on extant samples in the Ashmolean Museum.

Worked in silk on an uneven weave linen with a bachstitched border and pattern darned diamond trellis.

I am honoured to announce that this piece was judged to be a Masterwork by the members of the Worshipful Company of Broderers.
