Lot: 189 Shirvan: Published examples of this Shirvan are identical as
twins in terms of design, palette and dimensions. Obviously all made in the
same area, they are probably workshop products. The tree growing upwards in
the field like a climbing plant seems to be full of animal forms. – Very
good condition, a high pile and brilliant colours that have not faded.
