Antique Karabagh Bag Face

No. 31220
Caucasus, Early 20th Century
0 ft. 11 in. x 1 ft. 1 in.
(0.28 x 0.33 m)

A wool pile of symmetric knots on a cotton foundation. This somewhat enigmatic small piece shows a straw field with a schematic rose and a matching rose in the flap above, thus supporting a Karabagh attribution. The main black border presents reversing carnation in the Heriz manner, with corner palmettes. May be a Koran bag face with the flap intended to protect the book. Or a chanteh face with back and suspension cord lacking.
