JBOC: This is an unusual bag with some familiar Moghan Savalan iconography. Compare the border to John T. Wertime, Sumak Bags of Northeast Persia and Transcaucasia. 1998 plate 66. Then compare the four arrow head design in the four secondary medalions and the center of the main medallion to Sumak Bags plates 75, 78, and 79.
