Moghan: A rare Moghan with a light blue field that is darker at the top, and
densely filled with hooked diamonds. The central axis is accentuated by
larger hooked diamonds united into a patterned bar by a double contour line.
The weaver has used a great number of colours, employing them deliberately
to create an impression of constant change. This beautiful collector’s piece
was acquired by Ulrich Schurmann, the well-known Cologne gallery owner, in
the Sixties. – Minimally reduced ends, original selvedges. Good condition.
