On the Design:

Admirers of the craft may note an inspiration from saf prayer rugs in this piece’s rare, unique design—a multi-niche design with a series of prayer alcoves each framed by geometric borders, like those in celestial blues and warm terracottas atop this rug’s olive green tones. Keen eyes will further admire other traditional Indian motifs—diamonds, chevrons, and linear elements—featured across the field as a most unusual series of accents compared to other Dhurries of its kind. Everything, from its unexpected patterns to its delicious use of color, speaks to this gallery runner as a collectible, and its versatile size further offers vast applications in hallways, entryways, narrow spaces and countless other design applications.
