SECONDARY STRIPES
In Plate [L], Fig. 15 (opp. Page 250), is a well-known form of a secondary stripe found in Royal Bokharas.
A stripe seen in both Princess Bokharas and Tekkes is shown in Plate [L], Fig. 16. It bears a slight resemblance to some conventionalised vines found in other groups.
Stripes of running latch-hooks (Plate [K], Fig. 20, opp. Page 230) are frequently found in Yomuds, and occasionally in Beluchistans.
In Beluchistans the reciprocal trefoils, so well-known in Caucasian and Persian rugs, are very frequently used.
The pattern of a double vine, illustrated in Plate [L], Fig. 17, is a Beshire stripe that suggests a Persian influence.
In Plate [L], Fig. 18, is the narrow pear stripe that appears in a very large number of Afghans and in some Khivas.
Two well-known stripes that belong to Samarkands are shown in Plate [L], Figs. 19 and 20. The pattern of the conventionalised vine speaks of Persian origin, and the swastikas suggest Chinese origin.
In Tekkes, Yomuds, Afghans, and Beluchistans the small barber-pole stripes are constantly employed.
