Title: MUTED TERRACOTTA, Slate, Walnut and Beige with Controversial Motif Inside
Size: 4.3 x 5.9
Age: Antique, C. first quarter of the 20th century, give or take
Pile: Low/Medium pile with age-related wear and patina. Some wear on the ends and edges, see pics
About: Incredible color palette, and just an all-around lovely worn tribal piece. Amazing running dog motif around the outside, representing water and life. But that's not the only motif inside, if you look close (and see the pics) you'll note that there is a freaking Swastika motif inside, or is it? For those that don't know, that symbol is an ancient symbol of spirirtuality that representing many beautiful and positive things - wholeness, oneness, balance, circle of life, and so on - it was until the crazy Nazi's in WW1 took the motif and essentially rebranded it to represent the opposite of what it actaully stood for - SO, because this piece was either woven BEFORE WW1, or becaue the weavers weren't really aware of the Nazi's using this motif to symbolism their own agenda, these weavers wove this symbol for it's ORIGINAL, beautiful, posiitve, and spirtual meaning. This makes the rug layered with beauty, story, and good intentional juju. When someone sees this motif in your rug and looks at you funny, you now have a story to tell them and a lesson to educate them with. In no way if these weavers knew what we know about the Swastika would they have woven it - these weavesr are weavers of love, belive in faith, and would never want to harm or wish negativity upon any people - so this motif is actually a shining light of PURE POSITIVITY and you can rest assured the intention was pure and beautiful and so is the energy and story of the rug!
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.
