Silver ‘tepelik’ (metal cover of a woman’s hat) with embossed decor, and late-Ottoman silver coins (ca.1800). The 'tepelik' dates from the early 19th century. From the Bursa region. (Inv.n° müç011-Kavak Costume Collection - Antwerpen/Belgium).

Dear Jean-Marie; Here again, the purple color is setting off the silver so beautifully. Great! With kind regards. Peter

An almost identical early-19th century 'tepelik', with a similar design and the same kind of coins. The glass stone is red (the other was blue). Both were purchased in Bursa. (Inv.n° müç038-Kavak Costume Collection - Antwerpen/Belgium).
