AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

Afghan Double Bag 122x40cm
Regarding the dating, the two knotted parts (which form the pocket) were probably applied later, as the Kilim part (of the Warp-faced Kilim type, where the warp threads are visible instead of the weft, as is more common in typical kilims) appears to be much older, likely from the late 1800s. It is made with goat hair and colored with high-quality natural dyes, and the craftsmanship is of excellent quality, while the carpet part appears to be more recent.
It is a collectible object of great value in terms of craftsmanship.
The artifact is decorated with some tufts of horsehair attached at the ends.
Regarding the condition, the artifact is well maintained and without damages.
There is a visible restoration in the photos.
It is a nomadic artifact that was truly used for its purpose.
It has been thoroughly cleaned.
