Description
Third quarter 19th century, 100 x 100 cm, South Persia, Kerman region
In the golden yellow field of this small and exactly square Afshar nomad rug, two-dimensional palmettes decorated with two sickle leaves at the bottom and a hooked tip at the top combine into a repeat of offset rows. They alternate with botehs which change direction from one row to the next. The scale of the ornaments – essentially far too large in relation to the format – is a characteristic feature of many Afshar weavings, lending their rugs a highly memorable appearance. – Uniformly low pile, new overcasting along the sides.
