Condition: This blue Herati rug features a menagerie of animals. Three medallion shapes with peacocks and flowers inside are present and running down the center of the main field. Towards the center of the rugs are four crowned horsemen atop their curiously proportioned horses. In each corner of the rug are collections of animals (maybe a leopard, dog, and one smaller animal). The negative space is filled with flowers, plants, arrows, and other geometric shapes. Flowers border the main field.
