Afshar Bag Face
The design features a well drawn “endless knot” which appears to float on the repeating blue and yellow diagonal field of small botehs. The use of this “eye dazzler” design device is found in both Afshar and Khamseh Confederation weavings. Hanging in a tent, its bright sparkling botehs and floating knot must of looked quite spectacular.
