alliances and righteous living

In my entire collection of Kohistan / Swat textiles I have yet to come across motifs that are so elaborate and unique

The dealer in the field stated that these were used as banners or flags during headhunting raids

Erosion along the inner margins (one cover virtually detached)

The fight is for righteousness and has lessons in duty
