JAIL DURRIE WITH MEDALLION PATTERN

BIKANER, RAJASTHAN, CIRCA 1930
Handspun and handwoven cotton warp and weft
50 x 70.75 in (127 x 180 cm)

This striking red and blue rug is patterned with eight large medallions, perhaps replicating medallion designs seen on pile carpets. The border continues the sentiment, with a design of a scrolling vine bearing single red buds and flowering blossoms. All the patterns are subtly outlined with a thin brown or white line, showing the skill of the weaver to such fine detailing.
