Antique Bread Sofreh, Afshar Nomads, Kerman Province, South Persia.

1900 - 1920
Description

Woven by Afshar nomads circa 1900-1920, this might be described as 'modern art' today and if it were a painting by Mondrian, Klee or Rothko, then it would demand a high price as you might imagine! But, because it was woven art, made by a wandering nomad at the beginning of the 20th century, it would be over-looked! No signature to give it so-called status! Just a magnificent use of spontaneous weaving to create this stunning flatweave which would have been used for simply kneading dough to make the flat-bread (lavash).

The zig-zag movement, I believe, symbolises flowing water, one of the most important things to have in nomadic life along with bread and salt. Flatweaves like this look amazing on the wall. I love it!

Size: 1.30m x 0.97m (4' 3" x 3' 2").
