DESCRIPTION
depicting the romantic hero Khusraw with three of
his wives This lot contains 1 item(s).
The origin of rugs of this group is a matter of
some contention. Julian Homer and more recently
Dennis Woodman have pointed to a Beluch
attribution (see Hali, issue 120, p. 13), but Tom
Cole (Hali, issue 117, pp. 82-86, fig. 7) has
suggested an Afshar origin. Whatever the origin
of the group, however, it is clear that this is
an early example of its type with good quality
wool, saturated colours, and a pleasingly
eccentric and asymmetrical design.
