On the Design:

Connoisseurs will appreciate this exceptional rug as a whimsical and profound statement from the Swedish Rya tradition, embracing expressive abstraction and complex color mixing from the Mid-Century Modern era.

This hand-knotted, luxurious shag piece delivers commanding visual depth and personality.

The pattern is a masterful study in Abstract Figuration, strongly resembling a stylized Owl. The central form features a beautiful, painterly rainbow gradient blending vivid purples, deep blues, and lime green into yellow/gold.

The figure is defined by two striking green circular "eyes" and bold black lines that create a skeletal, radiating effect, pulling the design outward toward the Natural Beige/Cream field.

This rug is a highly dimensional work of textile art, perfectly suited for a space needing authentic vintage texture and a whimsical, unforgettable focal point. It brings an unparalleled sense of artistic curiosity and bold, Mid-Century character to any Eclectic, Bohemian, or Modernist setting.
