Description
Mafrash or cargo-bags were usually made in pairs, packed with clothing and bedding and strapped to the flanks of the camel during long migrations. This stunning mafrash was intricately woven by Shahsevan nomads during the last quarter of the nineteenth century. The simplicity of the design - three large 'birds-heads' lozenges on the side panels and one on the end panels, is powerful and dramatic. The mafrash is complete and in original condition.Viewing by appointment only.
