This rug was handwoven by Kurds during the second quarter of the 20th century.
It features a traditional Kurdish design of diagonal stripes in a rainbow of pastel tones. The seemingly random color placement along with the varying thickness and movement of the stripes imbibe the rug with life and movement. Framed by a main border of stepped polygons and triangles on a coral ground with ends that are beautifully embellished with multiple barber pole weft floats.
In good condition with some areas of wear and fraying near both ends. In original as-found condition other than a professional cleaning.
