The Metropolitan Museum of Art Bags*Persian Garden Crossbody Phone Purse

The Eye-Catching Motif On This Crossbody Phone Purse Is Borrowed From A Spectacular Garden Carpet (Second Half Of The 18Th Century) In The Met Collection. Depictions Of Persian Gardens On Carpets Typically Combine A Bird’S-Eye View Of A Classic Four-Part Garden, Or Chahar Bagh, With A Profile Of Birds And Trees. This Particular Carpet, Made By Kurdish Weavers In Iran, Bears The Traditional Pattern Of A Garden Enclosure Divided Into Rectangular Plots, With Water In Canals Suggested By Parallel Stripes.
