This is a recent bag with a very traditional design of peacocks with deer or goats. It was interesting to discover, when it arrived, just how different new production is from old; the weaving is much coarser and brighter. Partly, of course, this is due to the chemical dyes, but somehow it also seems more hurried, as though made with less conviction than in the past. Nonetheless, it has a certain charm. Probably Qashqai, purchased from an Iranian dealer in the US, it measures 34 x 30 cms.
