On the Design:

Admirers of the craft may note the bold stylized animal and figurative patterns in this design, nestled amidst several vibrant geometric and tribal motifs underscored by rich brick red and deep espresso brown tones.

The central field is dominated by highly abstracted, powerful vertical figures, possibly depicting mythical birds or dragons (Vishaps), rendered in striking yellow, blue, and white.

Keen eyes for detail will further appreciate the small-scale latch-hook and crystalline geometric symbols that fill the field and borders, creating a dense, textural narrative.

The varied colors together capture the look of personal, craft-oriented beauty that distinguishes nomadic textiles and folk art alike.

It’s an intentional contribution to a classic for a more contemporary level of comfort, and one of the many beauties that makes this collection a sophisticated, smart new language in design. See less
