Details
A vivid tribal runner in a time-honored Karajeh layout, this piece bursts with symbolic medallions in a vertical axis, rendered in rich vegetal reds, cobalt, and ochre on a wool pile foundation. Iconic octagonal gul medallions are interspersed with geometric floral forms, bracketed by a meandering vine border. The hand-spun wool offers both warmth and resilience, grounded by a cotton foundation and dense knotting that speaks to its longevity.
