Tribal Lion

Collection:

This vintage Persian Luristan rug from the early 1990s features a bold animal motif rendered in a striking folk-art style. Hand-knotted in organic wool, the composition showcases a stylized beast set against a softly variegated natural ground, with subtle abrash adding depth and movement throughout the design.

Animal imagery is a hallmark of Luristan weaving traditions, often rich with symbolism and expressed through charming abstraction. The simplified form, stepped outlines, and dotted detailing give this small-scale carpet a distinctly narrative quality—playful, graphic, and deeply rooted in tribal Persian design traditions.
