A vintage Persian Afshar rug. This is one crazy SE Persian tribal scatter. The ivory field displays giant peacocks, Saluki hounds, tiny dromedaries, pigeons and lots of minute botehs arranged around a central pole medallion of hexagons and stylized ‘mountains’ with other fringed hexagons in the field corners. Whew! The ivory border of connected diamonds is more straightforward. The detail palette tends toward olive brown and umber.
