Vintage Persian Textile

Wool pattern warps and wefts in a warp- and weft-faced plainweave. While the vertical light strips are uniformly broad, the light horizontal bands vary from very narrow to moderate in width, sometimes with none, one, or two secondary support lines. There is significant offsetting throughout. An odd, extra light line runs independently up and down the piece. An idiosyncratic example of Qashghai weaving.
