Feisty Fish Scales

$100.00

This cheerful square piece is distinguished by an overall fish scale design in red, orange, blue and green articulated by white stitching on a rust-colored background. There are still some original pieces of glitter tool attached. The back has been woven with care featuring bands of black, orange, green, and red. There is some damage at the opening, as shown, but otherwise good condition.

Most likely from around the town of Azrou in the Middle Atlas, based on comparative stylistic analysis. (From the Far West: Carpets and Textiles of Morocco, ed. Patricia L. Fiske, 1980).
