Title: MATRIARCH Weaving | Antique Southwest Khamseh Repeating Circle of Life Boteh Motifs

Size: 4.2 x 6.2

Age: Antique, C. 1920-30's

Pile: Low pile with fantastic age-related wear and patina. Exceptional Character-rich piece with lots of personality and age; it's already lived an amazing Life with LOTS more to go - just like you.

About: The Circle of Life is a concept that is primal - so, no surprise that it's woven inside of Nomadic rug weaving textiles and rugs. This piece isn't only symbolic, it's stunning. The dyes, the gorgeous border, and the attention to detail is next level. Wool pile and wool foundation is a staple for this village, and so is the luxurious body and floppy handle as is in this piece. This design is technically a bed of seeds, theoretically a field of opportunity and growth, and literally a work of art depicting the thoughts and values of this weaver. Dating back to the Zoroastrian times, this motif was the Flame that representing life - so, is the weaver weaving a double-meaning by having this Boteh motif look a tad more flame-like than a normal paisley design? Perhaps, but we'll never know. One thing we do see when you look closely is a very cool detail in this specific piece is that she has woven in guard dogs throughout to protect her children, seeds, botehs, or Zoroastrian flames - however you dice it, this piece is a next level tribal storybook with power and beauty at the forefront.

This rug is one-of-a-kind, only one in the world, no others are available.

Because of the nature and age of these older/antique handmade pieces, irregularities and age-related wear are likely to exist and are not considered defects.

We always recommend a high-quality custom cut pad for any and all rugs; these pads are made for hand-knotted rugs. They create a body and support the knots of the rug, as well as prevent it from slipping and sliding.

A note from us to you: Buying a rug is special; it's not just you finding the rug, but also the rug finding you. Think about the many coincidences that have to occur for you to find the rug of your dreams. Our rugs are woven by nomads in the villages and remote mountainous regions of the major rug weaving districts across the world. All of our rugs are genuinely old and one-of-a-kind. Like anything old and unique, they are filled with character, soul, and story. The story of a rug is something we think about a lot; who was the weaver(s)? Did they weave it for personal use, commerce, to gift, or trade? Who was the second owner, and the third!? Sometimes the little motifs and symbols in rugs can help tell the story, but we will never truly know - there's something beautiful about that. Alas, our joy is to curate these incredible pieces that speak to us, and to pass them along to their new owners to be enjoyed and cherished for many years to come; both continuing to add to the story of the rug, and to the story of the new owners.
