: Irwin- How much of the rug is missing? At most 10%?? In my world, calling it a "fragment" is ALMOST a misnomer.
Dear Tom:
While I don't want to be nitpicky, I want to point out that Harold Keshishian, the owner of the 3' x 2'1" rug fragment states "This bold and beautiful fragment is missing approximately half its length as well as its main border and outer guard stripe." (The Treasure Of The Caucasus, p.76). I would therefore conservatively estimate that 60%, not 10% is missing.
Regards,
Irwin
