Kussen of tas met raster verdeeld in ruiten en kruisbloemen met haken. Achterkant vlak geweven in brede strepen. c. 1800 - 1900

This is a woven cushion or bag produced by the Jaffi people, a nomadic group from Afghanistan, sometime between 1800 and 1900. The cushion features a vibrant geometric pattern of diamonds and cross-shaped floral motifs in reds, blues, and browns against a blue background. This repeating pattern is known as a "raster," a key characteristic of Jaffi textiles. The reverse side displays a more simple design of broad, horizontal stripes. The cushion's dimensions are 68 cm in height, 49 cm in width, and 9 cm in depth, suggesting a utilitarian purpose, perhaps for use in a tent or for storage.
