P-Chodor Mafrash
mid 19th century, 40 x 83 cm, Central Asia, West Turkestan
The white field of this mafrash contains a panel decorated with seven double hooks at the top and bottom. It comprises a dense mosaic of minutely drawn rectangles and triangles arranged around three bold, vertical double crosses. A zig-zagging line constitutes the border design. The knotting structure and palette suggest that this is a weaving by the P-Chodor tribe.

Condition
Signs of age and wear, some missing sections probably due to moth damage. Damage to the upper right corner. No kilim back.
