Oya



This is one of my prize oyas, made as a gift for me, by a lady from Kahramanmaraş totally unexpectedly - the maker didn't know of my oya passion, these are huge, though the flowers will not stay open they have stamens, along with small decoration along the edges - I don't know if this 'monster' oya is of that region as I've never seen this scale before. I noticed that sadly one of the oyas is missing from a corner. This scarf is just so beautiful - I get it out and admire it often.
