This magnificent and imposing vintage rug is the embodiment of the unique craftsmanship and upmost artistry of Samarkand masters. Its vast main field is embellished with a classic design of three bold medallions, two of which relate to the Asian concept of yin and yang.

The central medallion constitutes a stylized emblem with geometric additions and flower motifs. This frugal yet pronounced pattern is accompanied by elusive Persian vase motifs, flowers, diamonds and kilim symbols. The borders enclose and enhance the composition with pronounced architectural shapes.
