Item Details
Description
Late 19th century, 137 x 78 cm, North East Persia, Khorasan

In the camel field, fourteen delicately drawn trees-of-life are arranged in three offset rows beneath a bridge-shaped arch, with many miniature animals and tiny blossoms interspersed between them. Compositions using a large number of trees are rarely encountered in Baluch prayer rugs. The high quality of this example is striking – a fine weave, pile wool of a silky lustre and meticulously woven kilim finishes. Herrmann published the prayer rug in 1988, attributing it to the Qa'inat region. – Small repaired areas, otherwise in very good condition.
