• The expansive ground is dominated by a weathered terracotta orange that anchors the design.
• Crisp ivory white and ash grey highlights define the intricate internal tribal geometry.
• Deep chocolate brown accents provide striking contrast along the borders and central structural motifs.
◆ Motifs & Symbolism:
Hailing from the ancient Mesopotamian region, this runner showcases highly unusual, captivating tribal motifs that evoke deep regional mythology.

Such specific, narrative-driven symbolism is incredibly scarce, elevating this weaving from a decorative accent to a compelling piece of historical art.
