Mahal Carpet 9.8 x 12.9 2.98 x 3.93 The tan hexagonal field displays a variant on the Herati design, and the pattern continues into the diamond-shaped medallion and triangular corners. The abrashed brown border has a rosette and tendril fragment pattern. The soft colours include sand, old ivory, and a dark blue. The allover wear has lightened the palette considerably on this antique west Persian village carpet. (c68226)
