Tekke dowry mafrash with three panels claret red. a special type of wedding trapping, these bags come in the smaller two panel and this three panel format. i believe as single bags they seem to be one-offs, meaning that they are woven upside down individually, like most other white ground items. i would imagine that this design declares a specific use, and i have noticed that a few of this type have rather savage damage alone the top edge, suggesting heavy usage, like silver jewellery: the Tekke make very substantial silver and cornelian cuffs etc.
