SEMI-ANTIQUE TURKISH HAND KNOTTED WOOL 4'4'' ROUND RUG WITH SCALLOPED EDGES: A very interesting rug due to its unusual shape and its various design elements. Round rugs are difficult to weave and this rug is not only round but has scalloped edges to boot! The hunters on horseback are trying to shoot the game animals with bows and arrows or scare them with scimitars while in the center a fellow relaxes at an oasis and smokes on a hookah. The scallops on the edge are done in alternating colors and designs that include birds and Kufic inscriptions.
CONDITION: There are some stains, some color run and the edges are a little frayed but it is still a neat rug.
