Earthy, bold, and unmistakably tribal, this antique Shiraz rug (4.6 × 7.6 ft) showcases a dynamic field of oversized geometric stars — each a symbol of guidance and protection in nomadic culture. Woven in rustic tones of olive, sand, and terracotta, the central medallion is flanked by twin starbursts in deep green and vivid crimson, standing out against a variegated brown field full of character and texture.
The stepped corners and sawtooth outlines echo the weaver’s tribal identity, while the simple yet graphic border adds a rhythmic frame to the whole composition. With its coarse weave and raw authenticity, this piece is a striking relic of Shiraz's pastoral artistry.
Perfect for bohemian living spaces, creative studios, or entryways that call for a rug with soul and story.
