5. Jaf chuval

5. Jaf chuval, 2nd half 19th century 86cm x 60cm

The first of the larger 'Chuval' size bagfaces, intended for carrying bulk. For this example, the weaver has used a much larger version of the classic diamond design, making for a more powerful visual effact. Note how the drawing of the guls in the centre of the field is precise and ordained, yet the half diamonds on the two sides of the field are corrupted- echoes of plate #1.
