Hand-knotted Kazakh with an unusual optical effect
This runner features a field of botehs, which are stylized almonds and a symbol of prosperity and fertility. They create a remarkable optical effect, comparable to pointillism. By placing purple next to red and stepping away, our eye mixes the colours into purple. Which makes for a remarkable and vibrant effect. The main border has a 'wine glass and saw tooth' pattern, shamdan or Mashaal. Fire symbols, torches and flames. A symbol of Zoroastrianism; Zurvanists honour fire. Pristine, no stains, holes or tears. Fairly deep pile for its old age, over 100 years! The wool is soft to the touch.Will be shipped registered and insured. Read More
