Full Description
toxic filthy; will post new images after it is cleaned. Wonderful balance, scale, and execution of a dynamic design usually seen in Afshar work. Probably Inalu, a tribe that was closely associated with the Afshar in earlier times. Note that the inner boteh border turns all four corners almost perfectly.
