This beautiful and unusual half saddlebag-face depicts two stylised camels above the central rosette on a stunning abrash of indigo-blue. The rosettes, highlighted in madder-red, create a large quincunx or ''5'' symbol in the central field symbolising protection. Note also the small ivory rosettes numbering 5 in the upper section of the field and 5 in the lower section!
Made by Timuri tribes in the region of Khaf in the borderlands of north-eastern Persia and north-western Afghanistan during the last quarter of the 19th century. This half bag-face would originally have been part of a double saddlebag, damaged and reduced to provide two halves in the distant past. The complete remains of the lappits remain at the top of the bag-face.
