Condition: This interesting rug features imagery possibly related to the poetry of
Omar Khayyam. The main motif consists of two busts, one man and one woman. They wear headscarves and the woman looks as if she is offering the man a cup of wine. This motif is repeated multiple times down the rug, the facial expressions slightly changing each time.
The border on this rug is really interesting-- made up of what looks to be leaping deer, one of the deer (in the lower right) has a red eye.
