This Chodor chuval fragment has an almost
clunky charm. Major design elements—the main chuval guls, the
secondary chuval guls, and the Kochanak main border motif—have been
expanded and simplified compared with their usual treatment in
Chodor weaving. The forms in the elem are particularly large and
spacious, compared with typical Chodor drawing. Tertiary motifs have
been irregularly and playfully inserted into the main field. The
color palette (undiminished by damage) is brighter and livelier than
most Chodors, with a relative abundance of green and multiple hues
of blue.
