Carpet from Kurdish nomads, old, around , with sun
Authentic carpet with double prayer niche, which is very rare, two niches placed opposite of each other.Interesting features include all the mythical symbols, swastika orsun wheel photo number 12, animals, fertility and protection patterns.The colour scheme is also striking with its fresh colours; canary yellow, light blue, salmon pink, green, brown and orange.The orange is made of saffron, the stamens of a crocus that originates there.Ethnographically interesting piece. The edge has a so-called saw blade pattern; a sign of fire.This comes from zoroastrianism, an ancient monotheistic religion that is much older than christianity.Many elements of it have modelled for christianity, the immaculate conception, the incarnation of god, the resurrection. The birth story of Jesus matches the birth story of Mitras, the son of the prophet Zoroaster.Tolerance is also a characteristic.This rug deserves a spot on the wall.Will be shipped by registered and insured post.
