Materials: Wool on cotton foundation
Origin: Kashan
Date: Mid-20th century
Notes: Navy and indigo quarter-medallion corners; classic medallion in the center. Kashan rugmakers “create” color by arranging a limited palette of colors: usually madder red, navy, indigo, and white. Arranged my a master weaver, these four colors give the appearance of many, many more.
