Description A wonderful rendition of the Herati field design on a deep blue field with typical Kurdish borders. The wool quality is wonderful, with a soft glossy finish, giving the colours a richness that is so characteritic of Kurdish weaving.
Commentary: A really nice example of Kurdish weaving, the drawing of the field design
is excellent that is really lifted by the colours. The single wefting is unusual and may indicate a central Persian origin.
