This richly expressive Qashqai tribal rug is a visual symphony of nomadic life and symbolism, woven in the Fars region of Iran during the mid-20th century. Rendered in a vibrant vegetal-dyed palette of madder red, ivory, deep indigo, and forest green, the field is animated by a rare assembly of checkered quadrupeds, peacocks, deer, and rams — motifs of abundance, fertility, and protection. Framed by serrated ivory medallions and zigzagged fences of protection, its saturated tones and striking graphics reflect both ancestral tradition and improvisational creativity. Pieces with this degree of animal iconography and rhythmic symmetry are increasingly scarce, making this a highly collectible work for both decorative and scholarly settings.
