ANTIQUE KURDISH-PERSIAN FLAT WEAVE WOOL RUG, 4' 6'' x 6' 11'': This banded striped rug is reminiscing of Joseph's coat of many colors. Many of the bands colors are probably natural wool colors like the white, ivory, beige, and brown stripes. These are interspersed with blue, red, black and yellow bands or stripes and further ornamented with small geometric motifs to enliven the rug. At each end are found brown-black bands with a red and white design that goes across the width of the rug.
CONDITION: Rug is worn with areas of loss on edges and in some of the bands of color.
