Description

The field medallion is one rarely encountered in the Shahsavan design vocabulary. Variants of the crab-shaped star are imaginatively employed within the central hexagon. Highly stylized animal forms frame the medallion at the top and bottom. Multiple borders, in the Khamseh tradition, frame the entire composition. The colors are exceptional in their quality and range, three reds, two blues, light green, blue-green, brownish-aubergine, ivory, golden yellow.

Condition: Very good. There are small, isolated areas of good quality repairs.
