LabelThis carpet remains one of the finest examples of its type, despite numerous reweavings and fading. The complex pattern of floral motifs and arabesques, with two types of medallions in rows, testifies to the skill of the weavers.* Works in the collection are moved off view for many different reasons. Although gallery locations on the website are updated regularly, there is no guarantee that this object will be on display on the day of your visit. |
