An attractive little tribal saddlebag. The ivory border dominate the tiny central field and for me is the highlight of this piece with its meandering floral design picked out in rich colours. Note the wonderful contrast between the red and blue in the outer minor border, the latter changes to green towards the top. The small dark central square appears to have depth when framed in the lighter border, a glimpse into a beautiful abyss.

Condition:

Good condition.
