A wall hanging rug of irrepressible charm and naiveté!
It tells the story of nomadic migration and as such is a valuable ethnographic folk artefact. An adult dromedary camel dominates the scape with its child behind it. Note the humble human figure compared to the rich trappings and khorjins on the camel's back (for reference, see my XXL Baluch Camel saddlebag elsewhere on this site). Further off we see two horned antelopes and three tents. Don't forget to pay attention to the boteh lined border and the zigzags!
I must say this one of the most enriching carpet purchase experiences I ever had. This was not a mere transaction but more an experience about art and history. Dr Maktabi's experience and knowledge in this space is second to none. Highly recommended! R.A., Doha, Qatar
“I practically furnished my entire home with carpets from Hadi. The process was not only a joy but it was also a learning experience for me. Hadi was super helpful in identifying the right pieces for my home that would both work with my taste, budget, sizes required and that would be a good investment for my family. Hadi’s collection is second to none, and his knowledge and service is truly the blessing on top.” Amr Banaja, Public Investment Fund, Riyadh, Saudi Arabia 🇸🇦
“You don’t just buy a rug from Dr Maktabi... It’s an experience, a rich one! You learn about history, culture & art. And more importantly you feel euphoric!” Dr Siamak Abolhassani, Expert Medical Care Clinics, Victoria, Australia 🇦🇺
