This one is a good example of a small textile, perhaps a handkerchief not unlike the one Othello gives to Desdemona.
Here are some other handkerchiefs to look at.
Check out these details of the fine embroidery.
Here is a textile used for a wall covering. Can you see the Arabic scipture we talked about (those squiggly lines you see).
This last one is a good example of a rug. Check out the intricate geometric patterns in the middle.

I looked thorugh Google for a while yesterday and couldn't find any, but those are some nice pictures. My favorites are the first, sixth, and seventh ones in the comment (if I got the numbers right). I really liked the detail on the sixth and seventh ones.
Very pretty. I like the one with the star and the moon.
At first I had just imagined the handkerchief similar to the one on the cover of the book. But these were much more intricate. I really liked number four, number eight (the script is beautiful), and number nine.
I like the second and seventh one most. They're really shiny!
I liked all of them but my favorite was the first one because i thought it was pretty and i liked the pattern but i liked the one with the stars and moon too. haha. i agree with melissa, i would feel bad getting snot all over them... :)

These hankerchiefs have really cool designs, and I was actually expecting something more like the cover of the book (decorative but still hankerchief-like in appearance) I can't say i'd ever want one because you probably shouldn't use it for its intended purpose.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAAAhhhhhhh-CCCCCCHHHHHHHOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
Uh-oh."
I like the 4th one. The colors appeal to the senses. Well, I get participation points! So, have a nice day Mr. Wilson.
Those people who make these must be extremely talented, or patient. The designs are crazy good. I love it.
These really are nice~ I can't believe the people who made the cover of the book used such a boring looking hankercheif. :\
I like the last one best because of the brownish colors.
I really like the first one. The red color is really nice. I really have trouble believing that anyone could useful. I'd want to lock it up in drawer.
So it looks like the people who made this worked very hard to make each detail... but personally i just dont understand the perpose of a hankerchief... First of all why would people carry around a nice piece of cloth with snot all over it and keep re-using it? I would just buy those travel packs of tissue that you can dispose of (much more sanitary) and second of all why would they want what they blow their nose on to be pretty?
Lastly, if I were Bianca I wouldn't be too honored to recieve an old hankerchief and it wouldn't really make me feel loved...who knows
...thats my opinion but over all these are nice handerchiefs.... :)

Wow, those are very intricate and beautiful. The one on the cover is like a paper napkin (in our country)compared to those. I want one! AAAMMMMAAAAZZZZIIIINNNNGGGG!!!!

I happen to like the first one the most. The color and style grabs my eye.
yep the sevenths deffinatly the best

I thought they would be white. That they would look more like doylies. They are pretty though.
These handkerchief's are a lot more detailed than the one I had pictured in my head. I thought it would just white, with some decorative white lace. Guess I was wrong.

I think there all really nice.
My favorite was the second to last picture, the rug. It is cool to make a language inside a rug, like art. I also liked the third picture from the bottom, spirals are also very hip.
Um, Mr. Wilson .. do you happen to know what the words read on the second to last one?
