antique Qashqai jol, or horse blanket. Woven with an undyed wool background in a natural ivory hue, its simplicity highlights the artistry within. Embracing the organic beauty of imperfection, the weaver introduced knotted (pile) flowers scattered across the field in a wonderfully random distribution. This free-form creativity contrasts beautifully with the more formal and symmetric colorful border at the bottom, creating a captivating balance. Given its construction, the weaver likely worked on a smaller loom, necessitating the weaving of two separate pieces joined in the middle. The finishing touch includes very long, plaited fringes—imagine them flowing gracefully as the blanket adorned a horse! This piece features only natural dyes. It remains in very good condition, with only some slight staining, and notably, the tassels on the fringes and pom-poms are well-preserved. Material: 100% hand-spun sheep wool Size: 145×145 cms Origin: Qashqai tribe, Iran Date of weaving: 1900s https://www.nomada.biz/en/producto/antique-qashqai-horse-blanket-or-jol-...
