Description
The pointed mihrab and Timuri shrub design throughout the central field and in the 'hand-panels' is a sure sign that this charming little prayer-rug was made by the Dokhtar-e-Qazi sub-tribe of the Timuri. The small shrubs in the central field are depicted on an indigo-blue ground with the mihrab and main border in an old natural aubergine colour. The outer minor border is in golden yellow and the remains of the kilim skirts can be seen at both ends.The rug, made circa 1870-1880, is in good condition with only minor signs of wear and typical of this tribal group, is the corroded dark-brown dye giving off a three-dimensional look to the shrubs.
Size: 1.32m x 0.92m (4' 4" x 3' 0").
