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 three narrow borders of roughly equal width. The design of this rug is interpreted by our designers and the most appropriate colors to match the original are used for this rug.
This rug boasts a harmonious blend of 10 natural colors, each derived from traditional dyeing methods: Natural Wool Color 320: Specially Washed Burnt Coffee 102: only specially washed Gold 429: Reseda Luteola Cameo Pink 436: Synthetic Dye Rufous 308: Madders Root Dark Salmon 310: Madders Root - Walnut Hulls Dark Sienna 401: Madder Root - Pomegranate - Spurge Emerald Green 407: Chamomile - indigo Cadet Blue 26: Spurge - Indigo Navy Blue 432: Indigo - Pomegranate
