Aghbani fabric originated in the Syrian cities of Damascus and Aleppo, then spread and became famous in other cities. It is a cotton fabric embroidered after weaving with gold or silver threads. It is printed on fabric with designs and patterns using wooden stamps (clichés), with each distinctive design having its own name, such as: “Joklan, Love of Hazelnuts, Strange Flower, Seven-Petaled Rose, and Jasmine.” In the past, it was used to make shirts (quraq), turbans, and luxurious sheets, but today it is widely used as tablecloths for dining and tea tables, and this fabric is still very popular among Syrians and tourists.
