A charming tribal weaving with a flat-woven red background and a pattern composed of polychrome concentric circles knotted in pile, creating a relief effect. This was used within the tribe as a baby cradle, and are becoming increasingly rare to find. The resulting abstract composition together with the small size makes it an ideal wall hanging as well.
