The detailed border patterns include protective wolf’s mouth emblems, cruciform symbols with stepped edges and minor zigzagging motifs. Bearded fringes with poly chromatic accents line the sides and bottom of this quirky antique Afghan Baluch bag. Double pairs of crisp white beads adorn the deep, dark tassels while creating a bold level of contrast between light and dark.
