{"product_id":"fish-surrounding-lotuses-rug-5","title":"Fish Surrounding Lotuses Rug","description":"The source of the rug comes from the book \u003cstrong\u003eAntique Rugs of Kurdistan A Historical Legacy of Woven Art, James D. Burns, 2002 nr.31\u003c\/strong\u003e. This blue background rug has a variation of \u003cem\u003emasi awita\u003c\/em\u003e (fish around the lotus) pattern from Senna, Eastern Kurdistan area late 19th century. The field design on this rug is called by the Kurds \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eMasi Awita \u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e(fish composite or fish around the lotus). \u003cem\u003eMasi\u003c\/em\u003e is the Kurdish word for the Farsi \u003cem\u003eMahi\u003c\/em\u003e (where the Persians use an \u003cem\u003eh\u003c\/em\u003e the Kurds use an \u003cem\u003es\u003c\/em\u003e), meaning fish. The fish swimming around the lotus flower represents the \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eYin and Yang\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e, a concept brought to Kurdistan by the Mongols in the 13th century. Western carpet literature refers to this design as the \u003cstrong\u003e\u003cem\u003eHerati\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003e pattern. The design of the rug is interpreted by our designers, and unusual soft colors are chosen for this rug.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eColor summary:\u003c\/strong\u003e 9 colors in total, most used 4 colors are;\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOpal \u003c\/strong\u003e 533 (Henna - Indigo)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSunray Color \u003c\/strong\u003e 405 (Henna) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBistre Brown \u003c\/strong\u003e 411 (Pomegranate - Madder Root) \u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eOchre\u003c\/strong\u003e 73 (Madder Root)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Ararat Rugs","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51737948389672,"sku":"ART00424","price":2650.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0956\/7780\/8936\/files\/id_ART00424_TGR_V-scaled.jpg?v=1776848757","url":"https:\/\/www.araratrugs.com\/products\/fish-surrounding-lotuses-rug-5","provider":"Ararat Rugs","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
