Afghani Eating Cloth ('Dasterkhan') Not often found, this type of eating cloth is from northwest Afghanistan. Painstakingly embroidered in wool on a plainweave natural wool background, it is quite elaborate in pattern and color. Unlike some we've seen this one is completely covered in embroidery, with no background showing except on the ends. Condition is excellent. Documentation can be found in r.d. Parson's 'Oriental Rugs; Vol.3; The Carpets of Afghanistan'; p.52-3.. Size: 72.5" x 24" (184 x 61cm) Order #tca122
