Object Description
Amazing antique Shashavan rug with exquisite colours and a large scale Mina-Khani design. This design is often seen on antique rugs and carpets from the Caucasus such as Karabagh or even from Persian Bidjar rugs. These tribal weavers from the North-East Persia reside in the mountainous area. This area was home to a smaller group of tribal weavers and these diverse weavings were based on vivid geometric designs. The S shaped border design is wonderfully executed and this symbol is often used to represent the sun.
