Magnificent And Very Fine Small Pictorial Antique Biblical Persian Kerman Rug , Country of Origin / Rug Type: Persian Rug, Circa Date: 1900 – This awe inspiring antique Persian Kerman rug depicts a biblical chapter from the book of Genesis in which God tests Abraham’s commitment by asking him to sacrifice his son, Isaac. The two onlookers in this Judiaca rug appear to be standing sentinel in the foreground, but slightly angled as if watching the exchange. Both are represented in fine clothing and matching crowns, but with forearms crossed and possibly impassive expressions.
