Khamseh Bag Face
This elegant and superbly woven bag face is finely knotted (180 kpsi), has soft lustrous wool, a cloth-like handle, and beautiful saturated colors. The closures and weft-float strip at the bottom are nicely done. The Basseri tribe weaves this design usually with a boxier star-shaped medallion.
