Woven using recycled fibres alternated with industrial yarns of various types, ranging from synthetic cotton to lurex, this delightful zindhek shows a pattern composed of stacked niche-like forms, suggesting that it was used as a small, personal transportable prayer rug. One can only marvel at the amount of creativity shown in these genuine examples of arte povera.
