300 knots/sq.in. Afghanistan c.1970 Incredibly fine weaving gives crisp detail to the design of this piece which has its origins in the carpets of the Bukara Khanate of ancient Uzbekistan. The golden ivory sections of the pile are all silk, as well as the warp and weft. The other colors used in the pile are from natural dyes, applied to hand-spun wool. Young women would weave fine pieces such as this to show off their skills to the families of prospective husbands.
