Early 19th Century Shahsavan Sumac Khorjin 72 x 62cm / 2'4" x 2'0"An exquisitely fine and colourful early saddlebag face (Khorjin) with fabulous multi coloured, double headed beasts. Superb natural dyes, look how many different reds there are, I count three as well as two greens, yellow, light blue, dark blue, aubergine, ivory and brown. That's an astonishing 11 colours.
