A vintage Persian Baluch Pictorial rug. Derived ultimately from a classical early 17th century Indian Moghul carpet, this east Persian tribal scatter depicts two beige “tyrants of elephants” a cheetah on a cart, simurghs, antelopes, tigers (or leopards) and human figures on a nearly black ground. An inscription above includes a partial date of …387. A most unusual nomadic creation with a complex iconography.
