This antique Persian Kurdish runner (4.1 × 12.3 ft) pulses with graphic strength and bold tribal rhythm. The deep terracotta field is segmented by a striking column of octagonal medallions, each filled with abstract dot motifs in soft camel, olive, and ivory — creating a visual cadence that moves effortlessly down the rug’s length. Flanking zigzag motifs enhance the geometric structure and infuse the piece with dynamic motion.
The border is rich in traditional Kurdish symbolism, featuring cruciform motifs and stylized flowers, rendered in an earthy palette that mirrors the central field. This runner’s wide proportions and dramatic tribal energy make it a statement piece in both rustic and contemporary interiors.
