7.5″ x 12″ Miniature Soumak Bag, Probably Caucasian, Circa 1895
Probably woven in the Caucasus Mountain region, this miniature Soumak (brocade technique) bag measures about 17.5 inches wide by 12 inches tall. The denim blue field is decorated with what are possibly zoomorphic motifs, perhaps inspired by the early Caucasian “Dragon Carpets” from the 18th century or earlier. There is a flat woven (kilim technique) back with a multi color stripe design.
Price: $ 2,250
