Type: Tabriz Silk Size: 173 cm x 116 cm Knots: 9 x 9 cm2, approx. total 1,626,000 Description: This prayer rug is also close in period and style to the last two examples. It has the same formal general designs, with columns, niche, and the hanging lamp. In this work there is a hint of blue in the main ground, which is actually more visible on the reverse. The wide and complex series of bands in the border reflect the architectonic origins of the design, for the mihrabs of Persia's old mosques are often very elaborate and complex and in stucco or tilework. |
