“A picture is worth a thousand words”

​

I recently came across these ancient oriental rugs and the way these carpets had motifs that are deeply symbolic with meaning beyond mere decoration.

Oriental rugs are carpets that are hand-knotted only in Asia (Mostly in Iran, China, India, Russia, Turkey, Pakistan, Tibet, and Nepal). They are known for the uniqueness of each and every rug produced. Each rug's particular pattern, palette, and weave are uniquely linked with the indigenous culture, and weaving techniques are specific to an identifiable geographic area or nomadic tribe. Their purposeful use conveys an enchanting story sometimes quite ancient about human virtues and aspirations.
