Lively Hamadan: Herati Field with Petite Medallion

A unique small-format piece with the Herati fish design flowing across the field. Don’t miss the lovely small central medallion nestled among the motifs. Though compact, it is a complete medallion composition. 

Its color contrasts with the ground and ties into the blue corner spandrels, giving this little beauty an artful, harmonious balance.

Look closely and you will spot charming symbols. The freehand, “mind-woven” drawing shows an imaginative village weave, so you are looking at a true piece of folk art.
