A very charming zindhek, woven in the hooked technique using industrial fibres on a recycled plastic foundation. The directional character of the abstract pattern, which seems to indicate a curved central niche containing a tree-like form, strongly suggests that it was used as a prayer mat, especially as the small size and very light weight would make it an easily transportable item. Endowed by a remarkable sense of colour and whimsicality in design, it’s a wonderful example of how a weaver can express beauty even through a simple, utilitarian object.
