An antique Turkish Kayseri Pictorial rug. A strongly stylized central tree divides the ivory field symmetrically. Men with long staves, giraffes, animal combats, snakes, dragon heads, and assorted other real or imaginary fauna are framed by a niche-like arrangement of thin, long, leafy vines. The color matched border displays pairs of reindeer. This is a finely knotted, neatly woven city scatter rug more for the wall than for the floor.
