Luri or Qashqai chanteh with five crosses
It's hard to be sure about the origins or age of this bag. All things considered, I'd opt for Qashqai, but the crosses are more usually found in Luri weavings. Like the last two bags, the dyes seems to be a mixture of natural and artificial, so it probably dates from the early decades of the 20th century. I enjoy the slight variations in the colouring of the crosses, and the protective 'eye' on the back. It measures 29 by 30 cms.
