Description

Unsure of what this is, or what the proper terminolgy is to describe this item.  It is a leater tapestry like carpet/rug.  I appears to be of Asian (Mongolian, Tibetan or Egyptian influence).  It may be a saddle blanket, or?  I have no idea what it is or what it's worth, please help.  I can tell you that it is heave and very good quality, it also appears to be very old.  THANKS!
