When Wendel was researching this piece, he aslo asked me if I had seen such a flat woven salatachak since I had seen this piece in Toronto also(and still am attempting to acquire it). Obviously I had not, but since I own a pile piece, I had researched all the published pieces as far as construction and weave is concerned. Unfortunately it shed no light on this flatwoven piece, which aside from its shape - SUGGESTING that it might be a salatchek - might, in fact be something else. Nonetheless it is a fine, unusual and interesting weaving - something a collector wishes to acquire. Regards, Marvin
