This post is for a Joseghan poshti , or area rug . great color and composition. the white background is stunning . The trefoilate octagonal quadrants are guarded by reptilian creatures which leads me to believe it is of the Jurassic period.... ok we can call it 19th cen. Very nice drawing and geometric compostion . Great piece for a show , or wall hanger for your collection. wool on cotton, which is correct . ends intact, shirazi is questionable but nicely done. great size 32" x 39" 81cm x 99cm 3 day returns buyer pays ship free ship in the US outside at cost
