Shahsevan Silk Jajim, NW Persia/Azerbaijan, 19th Century, 2’ 9” x 4’4”
The opulence of these flat woven textiles is not readily apparent when executed in wool. But once one sees a textile of this type woven with silk, one realizes it is an entirely different type of thing. The sheen of the silk provides a perfect medium for the beautiful dyes that have been used. |
