Rug 19th-20th century

This large, 19th-20th century rug from the Minneapolis Institute of Art is a vibrant example of traditional textile art. Its intricate design features stylized floral motifs, animals, and geometric patterns arranged in a complex and symmetrical composition. The rug's rich palette of reds, browns, and blues evoke a sense of warmth and sophistication, characteristic of many handwoven rugs from the region. Its dimensions, measuring 140 x 101 inches, demonstrate the scale and craftsmanship involved in its creation.
