Antique Persian Baluch BalishtSize: 1 foot 10 inch by 2 foot 10 inch. Camel ground with a tree of life. This looks to me like real camel fair in the field. The reds are spectacular as is the green. My theory is that these are descended from grain sacks but at a certain point they there was a dichotomy of intent with ones like this made primarily as a cushion. This has a back. This is piece dates to the late 19th century. All the dyes look Natural. It is a handmade pile weaving from Iran. It is handmade and in average condition.
