An antique Indian Amritsar Pictorial carpet. The strong yellow is an Indian telltale, and the phoenix pairs and combats of predators and prey are derived from classical Persian rugs. The pheasants of the wine red main border add a touch of serenity and style to the dynamic composition. The burgundy medallion, field, and border are also typically Indian. A well-woven and exceptionally detailed carpet from a highly professional northern Indian workshop.
