About the Item

Maybe the Most Beautiful runner Ever? Sunset Colors Antique Caucasian Shield Medallion with Akimbo Border About: Rare sunset color palette and just a true tribal village piece with geometric motifs throughout that are all different sizes and shapes. Ram horn motifs trace the Caucasian shield medallions throughout with a funky & iconic "akimbo" motif that symbolizes strength and power (which the weavers and people of this region valued highly as there was so much turmoil and hardship throughout the decades). Resilience and growth were also big themes in these people's lives and therefore art which is perfectly displayed in this piece. This piece is in the top 5 most gorgeous runners I've ever seen in my life, and I've seen more than you could ever imagine!! True one of one gem. Wherever this piece goes, please cherish it and let it bring you the optimistic and cheerful colors that these weavers put into this piece as positive and happy intentions for themselves and the world Size: 3.5 x 9.1 Age: Antique, C. 1930's Pile: Low/Med with lovely age-related wear - we've had the two ends expertly repaired by hand so this piece is considered Mint restored condition - a true gem.
