Vintage Persian Tabriz Pictorial Rug
No. 29147
Persia, Mid-20th Century
2 ft. 1 in. x 2 ft. 5 in.
(0.63 x 0.73 m)
A joined pair of Persian pictorial rugs. A visual pair to rug # 11853. Clearly political, the identical mats depict, on blue-black grounds, a blindfolded impaled female figure bound to a cross above an inscription, “Ya Isa Massih,” meaning “Jesus the Messiah”. Odd iconography. Fine weave and excellent execution.
- Hand-knotted in Persia
- Wool
- One-of-a-kind
