Antique Persian Bidjar Gallery Carpet

A giant open central octagon shelters a smaller partially serrated hexagon which, in turn, develops hand-shaped, finger fringed triangles.  Lozenges at each end of the central tall axis. Slate abrashed ground. Simple reversing turtle border. Copious goldenrod accents overall. Very sold and compact weave on cotton. Kurdish village work. Bold, definitely unusual design with a slightly reduced palette. Good condition.
