The wall ornament was used to decorate the interior of houses. It was made by pen-embroidery technique, which has a special place in Azerbaijan`s decorative-applied art. Botanical patterns were applied to the frames of the wall ornament by pressing technique. In the central part, the shah`s party, musicians and dancers were portrayed by pen-embroidery technique. “Majlis (Assembly) of Shah Ismayil” was written on it with Arabic letters.
