Cute Afshar Tribal Rug

This is a delightful Afshar rug. Woven on a wool foundation, wool pile and excellent natural dyes, it has great tribal character. Rows of stylised botehs float above an ivory field with scattered secondary motifs, framed by a beautiful stylised floral border on an abrashed terracotta ground. Afshar weavers were influenced by the urban designs of the nearby Kirman workshops. This lovely tribal rug is a charming attempt to emulate the floral Kirman designs.
