Description:
A beautiful and collectable
Shirvan rug with a central field occupied with
alternate diagonal rows of two unusual motifs.
One of the motifs is a kind of stupa with a
flower on its open base and toped by a pair of
hooks. The other motif is a pair of inverted
horseshoes, boxed inside a simplified
‘floral' frame. This extremely rare pattern
has been exquisitely woven in different colours
over a rich red ground surrounded by an unusual
inner ‘running dog' border. The main border
is a simplified version of the traditional
‘leaf and calyx' border design. Literature -
