An antique Persian Bidjar rug. The Kurdish Bidjar weaving area is famed for its use of pattern samplers in the creation of larger carpets. Here Herati corners, a hexagonal medallion, a section of an ivory “crab” border and a portion of a Harshang-variant pattern are assembled together as a weaver’s aide memoire. Make your own carpet or put it on the floor where it will last infinitely.
