BALOUCH RUNNER WITH TWENTY-EIGHT GÜL MEDALLIONS EASTERN

This finely woven antique runner represents a classical expression of Balouch tribal artistry from Eastern Persia. The composition is organized in two vertical rows of fourteen octagonal gül medallions, twenty-eight in total, rendered with remarkable precision and balance. Each gül encloses a cruciform motif articulated in alternating tones of deep madder and indigo, creating a measured visual rhythm that guides the eye along the length of the textile.
