Khamseh

A decorative Baharlu Khamseh rug with an ivory ground. A striking piece with the giant boteh dominating the main field, closer inspection shows the spaces between crammed with smaller boteh, flowers and tendrils. It is quite a fine rug, remarkably thin in construction with a relatively high knot count.
