An antique Persian Malayer Pictorial runner. On a black ground filled with rows of tiny, colorful botehs, three identically dressed male figures in orange coats stand compactly shoulder-to-shoulder at the center while the main ivory border features a zig-zag vine and simply attached flowers. Who is this trio with almost gaunt facial features and marigold coats?
