Senneh wagireh, early 20th century

Measurements: 36cm x 36cm

100 Knots per inch

Price: £80

Wagireh were made as sampler pieces to allow the weaver to get a sense of the rug and a patterm to follow but also as an example for prospective customers. This is quite finely knotted and has the typical single weft of Senneh pieces. The subject here is our old friend the boteh, quite a large one and surrounded by smaller boteh and random shapes. A lovely example of type.

Condition:

Good condition with one of the ends having unravelled a little.
