This unique BAKHTIARI PICTORIAL RUG is a visually beautiful and historically fascinating document.
The picture shows a beautifully crafted traditional rug with a prominent image of a woman at the center. She has noticeable, large eyes and is dressed in a red outfit with intricate designs. The border around her is filled with small figures that could be animals or creatures from myths, as well as detailed floral patterns. The area around the woman is dyed in a deep yellow, and the edges of the rug feature a blend of red, white, and other colors, hinting at a rich blend of design influences, from Persian origins. The lower part of the rug has a complex design, which might symbolize a garden or carry a cultural significance often seen in traditional rugs. The entire piece is symmetrical and appears to be of high craftsmanship.
