"For over centuries Turkish women has hand reproduced her families needs such as; clothing, carpeting and tent with diligence. Teen girls have embroidered their dowry in their hands so ornamentation had become a new type of art. Hand made ornamentation had spread from rural areas even to palaces. For over centuries hand made ornamentations had decorated the dowry of Turkish women living in villages, towns, and palaces so it survived up to this date in which art is considered relatively a more important issue.
