Although the pattern of tulip and artichoke palmettes is not unusual, this panel is distinctive in the scale of motifs. A late 17th century Bohça panel with motifs almost as large was exhibited in London, (David Black and Clive Loveless, Embroidered Flowers from Thrace to Tartary, artary, London, 1981, no.5). A later example of a similar pattern is in the Victoria and Albert Museum, (Marianne Ellis and Jennifer Wearden, Ottoman Embroidery, London, 2001, p.18, pl.23).
