Salaams Kino, look at
www.spongobongo.com as what I believe the worlds leading research rugs and textiles up and down the silk road website ever ...and it grows and grows...The author has converted the entire site into a personal encyclopedia of research into all things rug and textile... It is brilliant.
I commend this work to Forum.
In Oman a similar woven but much simpler item is used to waft the embers of a fire into flame ...It's called a Fahm. On the silk road you can still find items similar to yours and where even the stick is similar...I wondered if the stick took its design from the arrow.
