With its intense color saturation and bold tribal expression, this antique Bidjar rug (4 × 9.5 ft) embodies the fierce spirit and resilience for which Bidjar weavings are renowned. Deep navy and crimson tones dominate the field, punctuated by abstract lion-like figures and mythical symbols — woven storytelling in its most primitive and powerful form.
Hand-knotted with dense wool and a heavy, compact weave, this piece is built like iron — a classic trait of antique Bidjar rugs. Its pictorial motifs, featuring lions and tribal emblems, suggest a ceremonial or talismanic function in its original context.
Whether used as a wall tapestry or a hallway centerpiece, this rug delivers raw visual strength and cultural richness in equal measure.
