This beautiful sumak was woven by Shahsavan weavers in the villages around Ardabil. What makes it so interesting is the wealth of small details, including trees of life, stylised lions and goats, birds and many other animals. Three large medallions gather many of these little figures within their geometric outlines.
Woven from memory, it has something extraordinary and unique to discover in every corner. The motifs are drawn with a wonderful sense of individuality, reflecting the creativity, talent and remarkable memory of the weaver. One can look at it every day and still find something new.
At 141 by 92 cm, it is a lovely size for decorating a corner or giving a smaller space its own character. It is an amazing piece, full of details that invite a closer look and bring the imagination of its weaver into the room.
