Ararat Rugs Six Avatars Rug - 19th C. Senna Persian Revival Carpet, Natural Dyed

About the Item

The source of the rug comes from the book Antique Rugs of Kurdistan A Historical Legacy of Woven Art, James D. Burns, 2002 nr.9. This rug is presumably made by Kurds of the Ahl-i-Haqq (Yarsani) region, a sect of the 'Cult of Angels', attributed to the village of Kandula in Southern Kurdistan, southwest of Sonqor, late 19th century. The motifs floating in the center have a religious significance: they represent the six avatars, a multi-personal representation of the divinity similar in concept to the Christian Trinity. The six are Moses, Jesus, Christ, Noah, Mithra, Sultan Sahak, and the female avatar Dayrak. The wide border has a series of alternating floral-like motifs, a characteristic south Kurdish design symbolizing turtles, used to pay homage to Khidir. These are executed in a more floral, less geometric manner. The design of this rug is interpreted by our designers, and soft colors are chosen for this rug. This rug boasts a harmonious blend of 8 natural colors, each derived from traditional dyeing methods: Natural Wool Color 320: Specially Washed Black Chocolate 434: Pomegranate - Spurge - Madder Root Sunray Color 405: Henna Cameo Pink 436: Synthetic Dye Falu Red 400: Madder Root - Henna - Walnut Hulls Feldgrau 414: Chamomile - indigo Vidalia 35: Indigo Carrissma 161: Cochineal Material of Pile: Wool Pile On Wool Weft and Wrap Structure: Symmetrical knot on depressed warp inclining to the right Knots Density: 45x39 Pile (mm): 4 Production Place: AFYONKARAHİSAR Related Article: Antique Rugs of Kurdistan - A Historical Legacy of Woven Art, James D.
