Note: To further a long term research project I am collecting data. When a piece such as this may be of interest to others I have decided to share my notes prior to culmination of the project. Any additions, information, or corrections, would be appreciated.

For Further Reading:

JBOC Notes: following Parsons this appears to be a related to Taghan Purdah from the Taghan Labijar area in Northern Afghanistan. See Parsons, R. D. Oriental Rugs Volume 3 The Carpets of Afghanistan.  plates 39 and 39B.
