Gashghai Kashkuli Iran Rug 65 X 60 Cm

Iranian carpet from the Fars region (southwest Iran), wool, cotton warp and weft, circa 1950. Very good condition.

A central medallion, academically inspired and richly worked, is framed by columns topped with horse heads. These motifs refer to ancient sculptures and bas-reliefs from Persepolis. A 'herati' (flower) border delimits the field of this small carpet. These small square carpets were most often the fronts of gorjins (packsaddle bags).

The Gashghai confederation includes different tribes. Some examples: the Kashkulis Bozorgs (the large), the Kashkulis Kucheks (the small), the Shishbolukis (six districts), the Amalehs or Yalamehs (workers, servants of the Khan).
