Arabesque and Craycraft Jaf Kurd bag face second half 19th C

Of large size, this finely woven Kurdish bag face from northwest Persia is a very collectable example of a well known format. It features the classic diamond design that is composed in an unusually sophisticated manner. It features a wide range of natural dye colors, including sky blue, light and deep coral and two shades of green. It retains the skirt and part of the end finish at the bottom and the much of the end finish at the top. The checkerboard outer guard border is a charming additional feature.
