An old tribal cover by the Shahsavan of Azerbaijan and Northern Iran, woven with hand-spun cotton in alternating stripes of indigo and white. With its wonderful patina and blanket-like handle, it would be ideal as a bed cover, throw blanket or table cover. A great example of this increasingly hard-to-find type.
