Luri or Qashqa'i purse

I bought this small bag from a dealer in England, and it is probably one of the best bags in my collection - it has good wool, colours, design, and a lot of charm. The cruciform motif in the centre suggests that it may be Luri, but it was sold to me as Qashqa'i. It is in fine condition and has a plain kilim back. Probably intended as a purse, it measures 8" by 9".
