A cocoa field is enclosed dramatically by zigzag bands in black and persimmon red on this boldly striking Persian Kilim rug.

Kilim (Sofreh) from the Zagros Mountain Region, Persia, mid twentieth century – A cocoa field is enclosed dramatically by zigzag bands in black and persimmon red on this boldly striking Persian Kilim. The diamond motifs of the main green-ground border are done in weft-float embroidery, as are the four similar elements clustered at the center of the field. The precision of the geometry of the design is counter-balanced by the freedom and expressiveness of the drawing and richly contrasting colors.
