A vintage Persian Hamadan rug. Totally characteristic with the unique Mazlagan (Hamadan area) sharp lightning bolt edges to the vivid cardinal red field centered by a deeply notched straw hexagon medallion, and set within densely packed dark blue rosette corners, Mazlagans have all the visual punch of better Caucasian rugs and are unimitated by other rustic weavers. We classify Mazlagans under the Malayer division.
