Description
This beautiful knotted-pile weaving was once a pillow-bag ('balisht' in Persian) albeit now without its plain-weave back. The juxtaposition and natural colour of birds-heads lozenges is simply stunning and this has to be seen to be fully appreciated. The remains of the madder-red plain-weave back can be seen at one end and I have just noticed that there are tiny areas of silk knotting!Made by Kordi tribes in the Quchan region of Khorassan Province during the last quarter of the 19th century, this stunning weaving is in very good pile condition.
Size: 77cm x 38cm (2' 6" x 1' 3").
