Persia, Mid-20th Century
1 ft. 11 in. x 2 ft. 4 in.
(0.58 x 0.71 m)
A wool pile of symmetric knots on a cotton foundation. A distinguished Persian gentleman, bearded and wearing a boteh-patterned coat over his pale blue-green jama, which is sashed and belted. He is not a ruler, but clearly an important dignitary, as indicated by the scroll in his right hand. The background features striped, draped fabric, and the piece is framed by a near-black wireline border.
