This is something I never imagined would exist. Not in my wildest dreams. Not one but two identical pieces of pure awesomeness. This pair was woven in the Garrus district around Bijar and survives intact. The design is a wild variation of the Vaqvaq animal tree theme, rooted in ancient Persian mythology. It bursts to life with some of the most outstanding dye materials we have ever seen. Pristine condition and luscious texture. Note the symbolic crescent and star βοΈ π in the top left corner.
