Antep/Maras Ala Cuval Southeast Anatolia Wool, with white cotton.  41"x 71." The central bands are soumak, with narrow bands of reciprocal brocading. The outer bands are overlay-underlay brocading. The edges of this piece are ragged and there is one small tribal repair. The piece is otherwise in quite good condition, with strong, clear colors.  It is probably 80 to 100 years old.  For a discussion of these bags, go to The Varieties of Tribal Bags and Panels.  .... $950   W-1669  Large detail photo
