Hand-knotted antique Armenian Kazakh with a special optical
This runner features a field of botehs, stylised almonds, 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 blade" pattern, shamdan or Mashaal. Fire symbols, torches and flames. A symbol of Zoroastrianism; Zurvanists honour fire. Pristine, no stains, holes or tears. Fairly high pile for its old age, over 100 years! The wool is soft to the touch. Will be sent by registered and insured mail. Read More
