"Qajar Prayer Rug With Animal Designs"
A rare, late 19th-century Persian wool rug (Qajar period). Against a midnight blue background, a mythological bestiary (majestic lions, peacocks, birds of paradise, gazelles, horses, foxes, rabbits, and birds) is arranged around a tree of life. Wool on a cotton warp. An authentic piece showing signs of wear. Some losses to the edges and fringes.
