Antique Tribal Hand-Knotted Wool Rug Fragment - An antique tribal hand-knotted wool rug, likely originating from Northwest Persia or the Caucasus region. This small, elongated weaving features a central stepped hexagonal medallion in red, cream, and blue set against a deep indigo navy field. The field is decorated with scattered geometric motifs, including four eight-pointed stars and two small zoomorphic animal figures. The composition is enclosed by a main border of stylized rosettes and stars, flanked by inner and outer guard stripes displaying S-motifs and sawtooth patterns. The construction consists of a wool pile on a wool foundation. One long edge retains a thick, multi-cord brown wool selvedge, while the opposite side shows exposed warp threads. The small format and proportions are consistent with a repurposed bag face, such as a khorjin or mafrash side. Width: 17 inches Length: 39.5 inches.
