Antique Persian Tabriz Pictorial Rug

No. 17773
Persia, Early 20th Century
1 ft. 8 in. x 1 ft. 11 in.
(0.51 x 0.58 m)

A wool pile of symmetric knots on a cotton foundation. With a few white cotton highlights, the straw-beige field shows Laila holding the love-addled Majnun beneath a thinly branched tree. Below runs a stream with a fish; in the foreground appear a stag, a monkey, and a rabbit; above are two facing, soaring doves. The scene is drawn from Nizami’s Laila and Majnun poetic romance. The border features conjoined calligraphic cartouches identifying the subject.
