The color is off a bit in this picture so
refer to the scans for color. The design in the
outer border is rather unusual. Of the published
examples this is the only one with this border
and also the only one with the two-headed
fantastic animal. I sell pieces as I find them
but normally the big retail dealers would have a
repair main wash this even up the edges, and
press down the bent corner. If you need a
referral on a repairman I would be happy to help
you find one. Recently I had a Baluch bag in
similar condition. I showed it to Harold
Keshishian and he had his repair people dress it
up and the difference was amazing.
