About the Item

Originating from Afghanistan in 1970, this vintage transitional Afghan Kilim features a combination of distinct and uncommon Persian symbols in its all-over field design. Flat-woven in a tight wool pile, the field motif employs a geometric floral pattern resembling many trees of life depictions (symbolizing eternity and renewal) in deep brown with red floral accents against a rural beige background, complemented by the meandering inner border likely symbolizing running water. The more pronounced border, however, has symbols resembling rotated crosses to ward off bad spirits, or the “evil eye” in some dialects, employing the universal hues of crimson red, rich brown, and beige throughout the portrait.
