3 ft. 6 in. x 5 ft. 1 in.

A wool pile of symmetric knots on a wool foundation. We love Gabbehs and we love lion rugs, and this piece is a perfect combination of the two, featuring bitonality in charcoal and abrashed sand. An abstract, snarling lion stands boldly against the striated natural ground. There are no unnecessary details, just directness. Bold and powerful, without frills or distractions. A true example of Qashghai tribal work.
