Khamseh Saddlebag

I have owned a couple of these pieces before and I will always buy them as I love their palette and shiny wool. The central white cross sits on a sublime green background which is common to these bags. I love the drawing of the border and how it contracts at top and bottom. Note the narrow yellow and brown running dog borders which frame the rug. I see the top borders running in different directions whereas all of the others run the same way. A mistake or just part of the random approach to weaving? we see this in the field with some motifs half finished as they bump into others. A beautiful little tribal bagface with bright colours.
 
Some wear and small nibble in one corner.
