An Ottoman period Syrian woman’s silk shawl with silver thread and large silk tassels bound with metal thread.

Thanks to Deniz c. for the following information: 'This is Syrian but not used as Kathy wears it... Its is known as Kesrevan in Hakkari / Van area. Tribal women from south of Maku/Khoy Ourmiyeh, until Mousul, including Van, Hakkari, and half of Şırnak wear it, mainly kurdish women were wearing it as well as well as Assyrian tribes who speak Kurdish in Hakkari province.' i have added a photo showing the shawl being worn in the way Deniz suggests.

In very good overall condition with no holes or tears, just some pale rust coloured stains to areas of the silver bands, mainly in the lower left (see last photo in link below). There is one silver saf-like motif in the centre and another to one side which forms the logo of the master weaver (see back when worn and the last photos). From about 1915-1930 and woven in Aleppo or Homs, size 145cm (including tassels) x 136cm
