The central field of this exciting Persian rug displays an intriguing illustration. The background is a unique conglomerate of striations and stripes that are featured in varying rustic hues, including navy blue, grass green, sandy yellow, earthy brown, and silvery creamy ivory. Seven geometric human figures, which are placed in symmetrical positions across the striped background, are beautifully depicted in a very primitive and tribal format.

The top two figures in the “soccer” field of this antique tribal Persian Qashqai rug are clothed in blue and red. The two figures below them flaunt ivory tunics and the three at the bottom of the antique carpet showcase outfits in unique tones of purple, ivory, coral and red.

Two flagpoles, which each carry a flag with a mysterious black kufic type symbols, are positioned on two opposing sides of the central soccer field. The center of this magnificent tribal rug displays a jagged diamond figure. This central motif boasts checkered with uneven squares of ivory and navy blue, that is meant to represent a soccer ball.

The wide border area contains another fascinating illustration. The top strand displays a rich red colored background with two brown deer images. These beautiful deer are flipped upside down to create a mirror image effect with the other two deer figures depicted on the bottom border strand.
