Sumak bag in exceptional condition - complete with closures - 1/2 of the set. Some metal wrapped thread used. All dyes are excellent. Shahsevan nw Persia. 19th century. This is one of those Sumak bags that begs the question: Are they all Shahsevan or are some also Kurdish or other groups living in the trans Caucasian region? The flat woven back with heavy and relatively thick handle is probably a marker. Crisp and clear, classic. Ex John Collins. Size: 24 x 21 inches.
