Salaams Colin Henshaw ~I agree with that and I was considering the arrow form to the right of the fan as being possibly Kazak....A lot of the styles have by now fused across boundaries but I think the Moghul style shows some remarkable likeness in construction and I am certain that all the way down the silkroad similar items can be still found...note the almost identical wooden rod on which the fan is set.

For an example of the arrow flight form see http://www.persiancarpetguide.com/sw...ge/Gend998.htm
