Across a warm driftwood grey field, symmetrically mirrored animal motifs — rabbits, birds, and trailing arabesque vines — are picked out in cream, soft beige, and sage. In Afghan weaving these creatures are a language, old symbols of prosperity, good fortune, and harmony with nature.
Woven from a blend of wool and silk, the surface holds a quiet luminosity, the silk lifting the grey ground with a subtle sheen. Sophisticated and versatile, it works as easily as a floor rug as a hung piece of art, and as a hand-knotted original, it is entirely one of a kind.
