MODERN PERSIAN HAND KNOTTED SILK PRAYER RUG, 3' x 4' 6'': This finely crafted silk rug has a traditional ''Tree of Life'' motif that creates the Mihrab, or central part of the rug. Prayer rugs are asymmetrical in design most of the time. This rug's tree is drawn on a white field with rose, blue and green flowers and leaves. Also there are pairs of birds found facing each other throughout the field. The field has greenish gold corners at the top and the borders of the same blues, rose, and greenish gold complete the picture. Condition is excellent.
