Bogolynbov (1973) illus. 7, "Antique Pende Chuval in wool and silk" with comment from Editor J.M.A. Thompson: "A number of similar pieces are known, all of which are very old. A particularly beautiful example is in the V & A, London (143-1884). Careful examination of 6 examples reveals that none of them ever had a back so were probably used as camel trappings and not as bags". Also illus. 8, "Antique Pende Chuval in wool and silk". Ulrich Schurmann (1969) illus. 6, "Salor Juval, wool and silk pile, about 1800...
