Carpet – The High Commissioner – Persia, 1922
"Sir Herbert Samuel", carpet. Persia, 1922.
In the center of the carpet is the figure of the first British High Commissioner in Eretz Israel, Sir Herbert Samuel, holding an English top hat on his knees. At the top of the tapestry is the inscription: "Sir Herbert Samuel"; on the right margin: 1922; on the left margin: identical inscription in Arabic; on the bottom: "Zionist Iraq Moshe".
The artist Aryeh Aroch had a similar tapestry from 1928 in his collection, which served as an inspiration for his important drawing "The High Commissioner" (1966, Israel Museum Collection).
54X78 cm. Upper part has missing fringes. Few stains on bottom fringes. Two lengthwise leather strips are sewn on reverse side.
