Late-Ottoman daily costume. Konya / Turkey.

Posted by Jean-Marie Criel on March 8, 2016 at 5:02pm

A traditional daily costume from the Konya province. Middle-class urban style, worn at home, ca. 1900. The silk ensemble (‘gömlek’/shirt + ‘şalvar’/baggy trousers) is delicately embroidered with ‘gold’ metallic thread. The large embroidered ‘yazma’ (headscarf) and the silk ‘kuşak’ (waist band) date from the early-20th century too. The silver 'gerdanlık' (choker necklace) is more recent (ca. 1975). (Kavak Costume Collection - Antwerpen/Belgium).
