| This pair of Pashtun tablecloths from Afghanistan dazzle the eye with their vibrant colors and mirrored discs ("gul-i-peron") which enliven the center quadrants of each textile. The Pashtun tribes are the largest ethnic group in Afghanistan and the second largest in Pakistan. Each textile measures 24.5 x 24.5 cm and is embroidered in silk thread on a green silk background, depicting radiating solar motifs in a carefully composed symmetry. A meticulously worked ladder stitch forms the whorl designs central to the composition which is framed by silver metallic thread, with the edges fringed with beadwork. Condition is excellent. Estimated age: late 20th century. | |||||||||||||||
