This room-size piece from the Greater Hamadan Weaving Area features a wool pile of symmetric knots on a cotton foundation. Its bone-colored field showcases an unusual allover pattern of rosettes, outline cartouches, and broken leaves, all inspired by the popular Herati design. The piece is framed by an ecru strip-style main border with winged turtle palmettes, an uncommon format for its period.
