Great Color! Great Wool! An old friend always told me that the three most important things about a rug are "Color, Color, and Color." If that is the case then construction, drawing, and wool must be 4, 5, and 6. This rug certainly combines all "6" to be one of the better rugs from the Province of Hamadan.
