Baluch darak,
Northeast Persia (Iran), c. 82 x 85 cm, beginning of the 20th century, cradles such as the present one, called ‘darak’, have never been mentioned in specialised literature to date, and whenever individual specimens were offered at auctions they were erroneously described as parts of a bag or sitting rugs; the present, almost square-shaped carpet is of larger size than a bag face and displays full pile, the woven finish on both sides is still preserved. (MA)
We are especially grateful to the Baluch expert Karl-Heinz Breuss for kindly sharing the fruit of his research with us.
