Approximately 1 foot square
This is a complete bag with three
straps. It is the three straps that causes me to
attribute this piece as a mirror bag. The front is
twisted silk on what appears to be a silk velvet. I
believe it to be Uzbek
but I do not think it is Lakai Uzbek.

One of my weaknesses is that I collect Hazara rugs and textiles.
Most people do not know what they looks like and even
fewer collect them. Of the people who do collect them
they usually think they are Uzbek.
I recently located a collection with 3 Hazara pieces. The
collector agreed to sell them only as part of a
collection and consequently I had to acquire 24 other
pieces to get the three I wanted. The price was
reasonable and when I started going through the mostly
silk items I was amazed. The pieces like this one are in
excellent condition with vivid colors and great design. I
agreed not to use the collectors name but let me say it
is very much what the wife of a high ranking Foreign
Service Officer might collect over the years in Southwest
Asia.
