A finely hand-woven kilim from Afghanistan, made in 100% hand-spun wool. The centre is divided by a cross into four panels, each finely striped in navy, ivory and rose, and the whole is enclosed by frame after frame of soumak-embroidered banding — stars, diamonds, hooks and rosettes in orange, lilac, ivory, green and blue on a rose-red ground.
Wide striped end panels in red and indigo finish the piece before a golden fringe. Being a flatweave it is thin, light and reversible. A one-of-a-kind piece.
