{"product_id":"fish-surrounding-lotuses-rug-art00218","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.
