 Tribal Kharaghan--  4 ft 9 inches x 9 ft 3 inches. This rug was sold to me as Bahktiari-Luri. But i don't think that is correct. Dyes and design are dead on balls with plate 34,  Runge, 2002. But this is not a garden variety Hamadan village rug. For one thing, the foundation is thick, springy, light beige wool-- not cotton. Runge mentions some association of this part of the Savah area with Shasavan villages. Perhaps what we have here is an older, tribal version of a Kharaghan. What does that make it? It makes it interesting.
