Mina Khani Rug with Bidjar Border
The source of the rug comes from the book Antique Rugs of Kurdistan A Historical Legacy of Woven Art, James D. Burns, 2002 nr.4. This was an exclusive example of a Mina Khani lattice design mid-19th century rug from Koliya’i, Southern Kurdistan area. The mina khani is composed of a series of rows of aster flowers surrounded by circular tendrils, vines, and other flowers; it’s used in many areas of southern and eastern Kurdistan and is among the most popular of all Kurdish patterns. This is a typically tribal and primitive treatment of an ancient pattern of linked flowers with a typical Bidjar border. The lattice appears to continue into infinity – as though we can see the section that is framed by the characteristic leaf design Bidjar border, which looks like a Cat. The design of the rug is interpreted by our designers, and vivid colors are chosen for this rug.
