Item Details
Description
Late 19th century, 114 x 80 cm, North East Persia, Khorasan

The camel field of this small-format prayer rug is densely filled with botehs which continue in the box-shaped niche without interruption. A narrow blue-and-white border of reciprocal trefoils provides a sharp contrast, separating the field from the wide main border where diagonal crosses alternate with kochak crosses. The main border is angled inwards at the upper end, repeating the outline of the prayer field. The overall picture is reminiscent of a portal surrounded by a wide frame. The other world unattainable to the living lies beyond its threshold. An example identical in composition has been published by Herrmann and attributed to the Adraskand region in Afghanistan. – Both ends slightly reduced, original sides, small repaired areas.
