Description: This carpet maintains up to recent times the ancient tradition of this great city of the south east of Iran. It has an open fawn field with an elongated central
medallion with anchors. The cornerpieces form a continuous frame to the main field. The handsome border with features in indigo utilises the characteristic botehs (Paisley) motif with which Kirman was
long associated and which was prominent on the fine textile the region is also noted for.
