it is silk and approx 5x7,
im sure its a prayer rug and to my best its a trabriz,
it is in good shape and i would like to sell it but i dont want to be unfair to either party!
it has a cresent moon with a star in it on the back,
i aquired it from a estate sale , it was rapped in newspaper from 1942,
so im sure it is quite old,however i know nothing else about its value etc.. or where and how to market it!
help
thanx
danny

I'm interested to see what the pros think but those pics are really pretty out of focus and low resolution. Is there any way you could get better pictures so these guys can do their magic? And maybe throw a quarter down on the knots as a size reference?
