: While one cannot tell for sure from the HALI picture of the Arabachi torba, I thought it might well be quite beautiful in its somber way. I called the advertiser, and to my disappointment found that it already sold for an amount that I would have been willing to pay if the piece had turned out as I expected.
: Once more, how we all differ in out astes! How tastes change with time and fashion! How futile the search for universal esthetic criteria!

Amen! Yon, if you liked that rug, David Reuben has an Eagle gul II torba with almost identical design elements and lighter colors. It is in great shape, but a bit pricey. It is illustrated in his last sale catalogue. Regards, Marvin
