I wish my camera could catch the incredible richness and
depth of the colors in this beautiful old tent bag. All natural
dyes
on hand-spun wool pile except for the undyed brown goat's
hair; braided and used for the tassles seen at either side
of the bag. The tassles were used to tie the bag to the tent
supports inside and over the doorway for easy access
to the contents when entering or leaving. If you look at the
detail photo of the bag front, you can see the grey-green cast of
the Karaqul wool used to weave the 'Memling' gul design. Unfortunately,
pieces like this are destined to become less and less available
as these tribal people become more 'modern' in their ways.
Note the green fabric re-inforced upper corners. Dimensions
do not include long braided fringe but represent size of
bag face. Shown is one piece of a matching pair of bags; priced
separately but can be sold as a pair, also!
Every Oriental rug, carpet or weaving presented
here is guaranteed to satisfy the purchaser or a refund will be made upon
return of the purchased item(s) to our location in Ashland,
OR 97520.
