Şerife Bacı Silk scarf

Kastamonu, 1921 — the ox-cart driver frozen while transporting ammunition.

Winter of 1921, the icy road from İnebolu to Kastamonu. Şerife Bacı drove her ammunition-laden ox-cart through a freezing blizzard. In the morning, she was found frozen; the ammunition she covered with her body and her swaddled baby were perfectly safe. This scarf carries the warmth of a mother.
