Ivory Ersari Turkmen Rug - 4'2 x 6'7

This distinctive Ersari prayer rug features an elaborate architectural composition of minarets, columns, niches, and stylized buildings arranged around a central mihrab. Within the large octagonal medallion is a pair of stylized birds, a motif often associated with harmony, protection, and the gardens of paradise. Their presence adds a poetic counterpoint to the rug’s highly ordered architectural design. The palette combines warm madder red, deep indigo, ivory, and walnut brown, lending exceptional clarity to the intricate drawing. The imaginative architecture, symbolic paired birds, and refined craftsmanship make this a compelling example of the Ersari weaving tradition.
