KILIM WITH FISH MOTIF

SAQQEZ, KORDESTAN, IRAN, CIRCA 1930
Handspun and handwoven cotton warp, wool weft, natural dyes
49.5 x 78.5 in (126 x 200 cm)

Saqqez is a province in north west Iran, largely populated by the Kurds. This kilim is a fine example of a senna made with the slit tapestry weaving technique. In the centre is the popular Herati pattern of a double diamond. It is filled by the classical arrangement of a fish pattern, generally characterised by a double fish around a water tank or a pond. It is surrounded by an asymmetrical ground of floral and geometric patterns set within multiple narrow borders. The motifs of the fish and water are associated with fertility and prosperity, and their representation on this rug inspires those sentiments within the space it inhabits.
