On the Design:

This exceptional gallery runner unfolds like a grand tribal narrative, defined by powerful symbols and mesmerizing color depth. The central field is dominated by a majestic chain of large, interlocking diamond medallions, an ancient motif signifying eternity and the eye of protection.

Set against a rich, expansive ground of deep brick red, these diamonds are filled with intricate layers of smaller geometric patterns in a sophisticated, polychromatic palette of ivory, soft camel, slate blue, and charcoal. This complexity creates a compelling sense of perspective and movement.

Framing this central drama are ornate borders featuring repeating tribal motifs that secure the rug's cultural identity. The sheer scale and detailed execution attest to the high art of nomadic weaving, making this piece a rare, enduring work of craftsmanship that anchors a long hallway with dignity and history.
