Description
This tiny but charming little 'chanteh' or vanity-bag has great age and made during the third quarter nineteenth century by the Timuri - Sangtschuli nomads inhabiting the border lands of north-east Persia and north-western Afghanistan.
Although it appears to have had a hard life, I couldn't resist acquiring it, as it has great charm and is a complete little bag which once contained a mirror, coins and some jewellery. I particularly like the braided selvedges, a typical Timuri finish, and these too are complete.
Size: 22cm x 17cm (9" x 7").
