Description
Late 19th century, 315 x 231 cm, North West Persia, Hashtrud region
Collection VOK: Caucasus - Persia 72
Judging by its palette, this very large flatwoven Shahsavan cover (jajim) composed of six panels was made by one of the tribal groups in the Hashtrud region although it could conceivably be a Moghan Shahsavan weaving. Due to the tribal migrations precise regional attributions are often impossible. As is usual in jajims, the warp-faced design consists of vertical stripes in diverse colours, in this case embroidered in horizontal rows of small flowering shrubs at regular intervals. A horizontal border of serrated diamonds and a row of four-legged animals has been suggested at each end. Large jajims served as animal trappings during wedding ceremonies. – Signs of age and wear, minor holes, stains.
