Qashqai with odd design

















This is a fairly large personal bag, measuring 43 x 40 cms, and if it weren't for the cord that suggests it was used over the shoulder (it looks original), I'd have called it a 'khorjin'. The design is also offbeat, and although individual elements are almost recognisable, they're put together in a way that I haven't seen before. It was carefully woven, as can be seen from the border and the 'Qashqai' frieze at the top. Purchased from a dealer in Holland.
