Description
Private Collection just acquired.This tiny bread sofreh, used for kneading dough, is extremely rare.
Made by Timuri - Sangtshuli tribes in south-west Afghanistan during the last quarter of the nineteenth century, the central field is incredibly finely woven in a technique referred to as overlay/underlay brocading. The narrow, horizontal panel in the centre is even finer, woven in weft-substitution technique. The borders around the field are in knotted-pile and both skirts are finely worked again in weft-substitution weave.
Charming in every way and in excellent condition, this is a very collectible weaving of which few have survived.
Size: 86 x 84cm (2' 10" x 2' 9").
Viewing by appointment only.
