Pictorial Tribal Persian Rug | 4'7" x 9'5" | c. 1960s–1970s
Details
This rare pictorial tribal rug features two striking lozenge medallions woven in oxidized indigo and flanked by stylized animals, fish, and folkloric symbols throughout a rich rust-red field. The abrash across the blue field evokes a shifting sky at dusk, while the eccentric geometric devices and scattered Persian script infuse it with folkloric mysticism. The presence of the weaver’s signature, meticulously woven into the design, is an exceptional detail that confirms its origin and reflects a level of intentionality rarely seen in tribal compositions. With its luminous abrash, naïve perspective, and deeply symbolic iconography, this piece serves as both a textile and a cultural document.
