~ This wonderful antique tribal rug is decorated with a series of hooked medallions contained within a central panel featuring various animal and botanical motifs including stylised peacocks, flowers and framed by multiple borders. The human figures are a representation of the female weaver’s family members, those whom she was most fond of ~

It has a fantastic pile and the wool becomes softer as it ages. A highly collectible piece with no repairs.
