Mint condition antique tribal rug with attractive red n brown tones. 24 all over octagonal Güls populate the field, alternating in staggered rows with a dozen red and a dozen brown. The upper half of the field has 18 dogs, a feature noticeably absent in the lower half--a charming idiosyncrasy of nomadic rugs. The Seven Sisters border is made up of 7 concentric stripes framing the rug.
