This dramatic carpet from the Farahan district features a characteristically dense Herati pattern in a Mina Khani-style arrangement that allows small amounts of the dark blue field to peek through. Multiple guard bands, taupe inner borders embellished with latch hook pyramids and colorful border motifs set on neutral ground complete this richly-colored design.
