Description

second half 19th century, 256 x 137 cm, Central Asia, middle Amu Darya valley

The extra-wide main border contains large shield motifs with outlines curled like spirals at their ends. These designs may derive from ornamental plates and are also encountered in bag faces. Goat hair warps.
