This chuval has richly saturated colors, a
very floppy handle, and an unusual design. Notice how the weaver
continued to experiment with the design of the “guls” that she
placed within the diagonal lattice, making their central diamonds
larger or smaller, increasing and then decreasing the number of
“diamonds within the diamonds,” even adding white “arrows” to the
guls in the second row from the top, before arriving at what most
viewers would agree is the best of her attempts in the very last
horizontal row that she wove. The ability to see the
weaver-as-designer at work adds greatly to the appeal of this chuval.
