The subtle definition this technique lends the richer gold, red, navy, and blue hues offers a distinction and natural complement to the movement in the striped pattern, balancing the emphasis of the tribal ram’s horn motifs in the central field. The latter motif, a celebrated symbol believed to signify themes of strength, protection, and fertility in varied cultural interpretations, enjoys a sharp definition that has been well maintained in this antique rug’s tenure; a unique traditional rug among the Kurdish favorites in the Antique & Vintage rug collection from Rug & Kilim. less
