Burns,2002 nr.36 This was an exclusive example of offset rows of ascending flowers design rug c.1800s from Garrus, Eastern Kurdistan area. This type of rug has been called "Joshagan" in the past although in design, heavy all-wool construction, wool quality, and structure this example is clearly one of Kurdish work. The design of this rug is interpreted by our designers and soft colors are chosen for this rug.
