2997 Large Turkoman Bag 2 ft 4 in x 4 ft (73 x 121)

A design of large cartouche medallions outlined by feathers which one normally associates with Kerman carpets. The color combination utilized– the rich madder, deep indigo and fiery yellow show that is indeed an example of Sultanabad weavers using their skill to impart their genius into a borrowed design.
Modeled after the so called “Salting Rugs” in the Topkapi Museum (Istanbul)
Like a “souf” carpet, this rug has the background at a lower hight than the floral design of the field
