Persia, Early 20th Century
7 ft. 3 in. x 19 ft. 3 in.

A wool pile of symmetric knots on a cotton foundation. On an abrashed light slate field are three synchronized columns of repeating motives of a hexagonal plaquette sprouting two embracing green leafy sprays. Pointed shrubs, rosettes and dark leaves fill in accordingly. Powder strip style border with imaginative torn maple leaves. Not the usual Bibikabad and without camel details anywhere.
