Antique Handwoven Persian Tribal Area Kilim
Item Details

Mirrored motifs include ashik Ersari guls and running dog patterns on the field as well as tree-like notched poles. Framing the field are crenellated divider bands and an outer border that features squared stars with cross forms over a midnight blue ground. Selvedges are single overcast, the rug finishing with short wool warp fringe in pink (possibly from dye-bleed), natural brown, and ivory. It is marked on the reverse.
