First World War - Ottoman Turkish Prisoner of War beadwork scarf, inscribed ‘Mary Ellen Martin Turkish Prisoners 1916’, with beadwork flowers and flag designs to either side. 66cm, superb condition. Inscription potentially referring to three separate people with dividers between each name or a Mary Ellen Martin. This type of beadwork consistent with Prisoner of War camps in Turkey, alongside beadwork renditions of snakes. Interesting item.
