Vintage Turkish Anatolian Pictorial Rug (Pair: 1 of 2)

A wool pile of symmetric knots on a wool foundation. A visual pair to rug # 33436. The panel-abrash rust-brown field sets off a single right-facing ecru lion with a striated black-and-dark-brown mane and accents in pale pink, muted violet, taupe, and brown. Its large, distinctly human-like face peers intently at the viewer. The ecru, strip-style border displays a trapezoidal meander fitted with T-shaped motifs in black, brown, gray, and pink. Originally woven as the face of a cushion cover, or yastik.
