Description
Originally published in Eberhart Herrmann's 'Seltene Orientteppiche' Volume X, this rare and early bag-face depicting four cockerels in the central panel was made by Timuri tribes circa 1860 in the borderlands of north-eastern Persia and north-western Afghanistan.Once part of double saddle-bags, at some point in the past, these bag-faces were cut from the original saddle-bags where dealers found it easier and more lucrative, to separate them, sadly! At least this bag-face has been preserved!
I love the way the weaver has moved the ivory outlining to the left of the lower-left cockerel in order not to cut into its beak. Quite charming and spontaneous in a tribal way. Subtle natural colours were used throughout with an amazing teal being used in two of the birds and elsewhere in this remarkable weaving.
A very collectable and early example of Timuri work.
Size: 56cm x 74cm (1' 10" x 2' 5").
