Rothberg Collection
view detail
The superb rug is a good example of the horror vacui which permeates
much Persian weaving. Also published in Pacific Collections (pl.78), it
was certainly one of the classiest Persian tribal rugs in the
exhibition. Michael Rothberg's penchant for good quality 19th century
south Persian weaving is well documented; one thinks especially of the
landmark exhibition of woven bags curated by Rothberg and Brian
Morehouse, which took many back to the heady days of the 70s, when such
weavings were more plentiful (see Hali 86, pp.95-99). The weaver of
this rug was clearly pretty keen on the boteh. Botehs appear within
botehs in what is known as the 'mother and child' formation. Further
botehs fill the white ground, while yet more are ranged in the main
border. |
