Mikko, I have no idea about the attribution and the age, but speaking from an aesthetical point of view I think your chuval is absolutely stunning! I for one would prefer it to Tsareva's piece.

Tack så mycket, Erik! It is a nice chuval, and I'd love to know whether it is an Arabachi, Chodor, or Yomud...

Best,

Mikko

I'd guess Chodor, because of the palette.

Thanks, Steve! Were you (or anyone else) able to to make anything of the last picture I posted about the knotting?

Hi Mikko

Looks asymmetric to me. Most likely open to the right, but can't know that without knowing which end was woven first.
