Baktiari Mafrash Kilim Northwest Persia. Late 19th century Wool.  47"x 65." Dovetailed tapestry and soumak. This piece is in excellent condition. It originally formed the sides and bottom of a nomad's bedding bag or "cradle."  It is unusual, in having a flap at the lower end which would have partially closed the mafrash.  This would be durable as a small rug. $1125   HOLD W-7442  Larger full view photo                Large detail photo
