"Extensive text, beautifully-written and well-researched, this book
leads us through many historical and geographical adventures and
towards a plethora of full-colour plates...These pages ground us by
sharing a complex culture expressed through an object of practical
simplicity." —Ptolemy Mann, Selvedge The Michael and Amy
Rothberg Collection of knotted-pile tribal and nomadic bags and
other rare small format pile weavings, among them many pieces made
for women's dowries and other ceremonial functions, is recognised
as the best of its kind anywhere in the world. The collection has
been carefully and thoughtfully assembled over the past four
decades. Michael Rothberg's collections are above all distinguished
by the collector's acutely sensitive and perceptive eye for the
best museum-quality material available on the international market.
Specialists in the field and other collectors and tribal weaving
enthusiasts have awaited the publication of this part of the
Rothberg Collection for many years, ever since a selection of the
material was shown at Sotheby's in Los Angeles in a feature
exhibition during the American Conference on Oriental Rugs in
January 1996. The scope of the collection includes antique pile
bags, from the Transcaucasus region, as well as from the Shahsavan,
Kurdish, Varamin region, Qashqa'i, Khamseh, Luri, Bakhtiari, Afshar
and Baluch tribes of Iran.
