Shahsavan antique mafrash panel (43 x 106cm)

£ 180.00

43 x 106 cm  //  1ft 5" x 3ft 6"

In fine wool and cotton soumak this panel would have been one side of a storage container which was shaped as a cuboid polyhedron open to the top and as in the illustration here A B Eand F. Very well woven with long staple wool to withstand utilitarian use as a luggage container for this semi nomadic group whilst on the move in and for storage domestically in southern Azarbiajan.

The edges frayed otherwise in good strong condition.
