Luri
Late 19th century, 257 x 176 cm, South West Persia, Luristan, Zagros region
A tile-like repeat of small nested diamonds in different colour combinations hermetically covers the field. This memorable design is very often encountered in the rugs and bags of the Kurdish Jaff and Sanjabi tribes who lived in the region west of Kermanshah. Diamond designs identical in drawing but different in colour were also used by the Luri of the Zagros Mountains. Further identifying features of the Luri provenance are the style and ornamentation of the borders as well as the typical striped kilim finishes partially brocaded with small motifs. – Very good condition, original finishes all around.
