Bold Village Rug from Hamadan

Look at the field. It feels as if beautiful flowers have been planted in mirrored pairs. A red border frames the piece, and you can see the well-known Nahavand and Hamadan design language. The head and tail pendants spill into the border, giving the rug a distinctive layout.
