EARLY 20TH CENTURY SEMI-ANTIQUE SW PERSIAN TRIBAL QASHQA'I VANITY BAG DOWRY WEAVING. Excellent Condition! Colorful birds, goats, and jewelry-like amulettes are embroidered on an ivory wool plainweave field. The original backing is also embroidered with rows of geometric motifs. The dyes are derived from both natural vegetal and non-natural sources, typical of this time frame.
