A vintage Persian Mahal rug. This very interesting and amusing village scatter shows an octogramme and cross tile classical Persian pattern on a charcoal ground. The larger tiles in three columns all show a male figure with two leashed lions, smaller female figures above and paired goats below. The cross-tiles each feature two snakes. Perfectly drawn, it must have been taken from a textile. Reversing fan palmettes ornament the light blue narrow border.
