NOTES
This is a most unusual rug woven in long lustrous wool. The combination of a central field echoing a beautifully spaced 'mina khani' design and a bold 'cloud-band' main border all rendered in a balanced colour pallete, results in a highly desirable example of the weaver's imagination and skill. This is a particularly evocative rug.
