Woven by the Afshar tribe of south-east Persia in the 19th century, this wonderful tribal rug has borrowed a design from the classical Persian medallion carpet tradition, but has adapted it in a strikingly graphic way. Note the oversize anchors at the ends of the medallion, and the dancing figures. The checkerboard that surrounds the medallion is beautifully detailed. The pile is woven in a soft lustrous wool, and all the dyes are natural. This rug has some minor corrosion to the indigo dye in the field, otherwise it is very good condition.
