ID#:2084, Al Buraq Bolescht, Bag, or Pillow _ For Sale, but not on sale, so removed from inventory 12/22/23 This a bag with a pile front and a plain woven back which typically would be used as a seat cushion on the floor. The pile side shows a single blue Al-Buraq with red wings and tail. The mythic figure sits in the center of a beautiful brown field decorated with flowers. A classic Turkmen border frames the composition. Better photos towards the bottom. Also, please note there is some crusty schmutz on one corner which sits only on the surface of the rug. The pile face of the bag, or bolescht, is backed with a plain plain weave face, which is attached at the selvedges. The pile and plain weave are one textile which is folded, then the sides are sewn up to form a pillow.

ID#:2083, Al Buraq Afghan Rug

ID#:1640, Figures with Cup 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.
