Early 19th Century Shahsavan Sumac Khorjin 72 x 62cm / 2'4" x 2'0" The cockerel is an AncientAn exquisitely fine and colourful early saddlebag face (Khorjin) with fabulous multi coloured, double headed beasts. Superb natural dyes, look how many different reds there are, I count three as well as two greens, yellow, light blue, dark blue, aubergine, ivory and brown. That's an astonishing 11 colours. Professionally mounted and ready for your wall, it looks amazing. A highly collectable and much older than most examples ethnographic art object.
