This masterpiece is one of the oldest examples of a type woven by the Timur (Taimuri), a tribe of mixed Turko-Mongol origin living primarily in a mountainous region extending from the northwest corner of Afghanistan into neighboring Iran. Their rugs are often grouped with those of the Baluch, a tribe who inhabit the same area but who have different ethnic roots. Descended from east Persian carpets of the Safavid period, the design of this classic Timuri example consists of a central tree of life with alternating pairs of hexagonal medallions geometricized palmettes. Smaller medallions and floral motifs are interspersed throughout.
Although the colors in Timuri carpets are typically somewhat limited in number, the weavers use them to great effect. Here, they have created variety and drama by reversing the color placement in each pair of opposing medallions and palmettes and by setting the design against a deep blue field. The use of dyed silk in the small diamond elements adds further variety to the palette.
Carpets of this quality demonstrate the ability of tribal weavers to adapt the sophisticated, curvilinear designs of urban carpets to their own vigorous aesthetic.

The MouseRug combines traditional handmade rug patterns with the Lextra yarn-dyed nylon fiber coating process to create a beautiful, durable mousepad and coaster. By scanning actual hand-woven rugs even tiny imperfections are faithfully reproduced to make the MouseRug look exactly like the original.. The Lextra process does not use ink. Small, 1mm yarn-dyed fibers are dispensed through a metal screen with an electrical charge which orients the fibers vertically and propels them into the design adhesive. The color will not wear off. Product Features Over 7 million, 1mm, yarn-dyed fibers per rug Continuously cleans the mouse ball mechanism Wash with soap & water Ultra precise with optical & mechanical mice Never sticky, hot or cold! MouseRug size: 10.25"(L) (incl. fringe) x 7.125"(W) x .16"(H
