Collector's Notes
This antique Bakhtiari saddle bag rug was woven in the 2nd half of the 19th Century. It features a vibrant array of colors throughout with the top panel containing geometric bird lozenges interspersed with multicolored diamond patterns. The bottom panel features five archaically drawn tribal figures (known as 'mother-goddess' design element) nested between the hexagonal gul designs. Note: it is rare to see both a Sumac/soumac flatwoven section and full lower piled section woven together, still intact. Overall an impeccably fine weave that can serve stunning wall hanging art or decorative room piece.
