This bag face, which measures 15" by 14", probably comes from a small khorjin. At any rate, it is on the upper side of the size of a chanteh. It feels old to me, and the cotton warps and wefts (some of them light blue) suggest an attribution to the Afshar. I'm including it here to show the way that weavers were sometimes inclined to juxtapose traditional patterns with freeform compositions. Other than the mushka at the top (the inverted triangular shape with finger-like extensions, an amulet to ward off the evil eye) I can't make out what is going on in the field, but it is evocative and mysterious. Purchased on eBay from an American antique dealer.
