Origin: Kurdish Shahsavan
Date: Last quarter of the 19th century
Dimensions: 440 × 116 cm
Description:
This minimalist Shahsavan Kurdish runner stands out through its rare use of space and restraint. Three finely rendered medallions float across a luminous madder red field, gently animated by abrash. The subtle shifts in tone lend a natural rhythm to the composition, like quiet breaths on a steady beat. Jewel-like floral motifs break the silence with intention, while the fine weave reveals the artisan’s quiet mastery. Anchored by a geometric border, the runner exudes a meditative dignity—an elegant expression of tribal refinement.
