Description from the seller

Very authentic sleeping blanket from the Shahsavan nomads.
The fabric consists of 6 vertical bands about 27 cm wide. It was woven on a narrow loom. (see photo).
It was used as a sleeping blanket even for 2 people!
One can see the creativity and playfulness of the weaver in the occasional weaving of other motifs. Or does it point more to imperfect execution in following Islamic rules?
The rougher band around the blanket was used as extra protection during use.
In very good condition, only a few signs of wear.
