Five pieces of fabric sewn together. An ivory melange ground with a polychrome decor of large stylized flowers as well as leaf and flower vines. A narrow border with a flower and leaf vine.
There are two related examples in Keshte (the Wolf Collection), numbers 10 and 18. Number 18 has a similar design to this lot in the auction, but is probably later. There are two other related pieces in the Victoria and Albert Museum: 81-1896, which has stripes similar to this, and CIRC. 871-1900, a niche which has similar botehs, etc.
Some wear, dirty, stains, repairs, minor damages. The sides and ends have minor damages.
