3'3" X 4'9" Antique Mushwani Tribal Rug [TAK0021]

Collector's Notes

Antique Mushwani Prayer Rug. The Mushwani/Mashwani group weaved this tribal rug in the last quarter of the 19th century. The center displays three stacked radiating stepped diamonds with latch hooks on a deep blue background traced by the 'running dog' style minor border. The hand panels on both sides of the prayer niche are filled with fine stylized tree elements. Great as a floor rug or as a wall hanging.
