Unlike typical geometric designs, this piece features an intricate pictorial composition — depicting a central tower flanked by human portraits and animals, all rendered in warm, earthy tones.

The rug’s imagery tells a story of heritage and symbolism, with mountain goats, stylized foliage, and architectural motifs carefully integrated into the scene. Its muted palette of brown, beige, ivory, sky blue, and soft gold lends the piece a timeless and organic beauty, while the masterful knotting provides a rich, tactile surface ideal for display.

Its delicate hand-knotting and naturally dyed wool reflect generations of craftsmanship and cultural storytelling.
