This carpet features a distinctive lion wielding a sword with the sun peaking over his mane. The motif stretches from end to end and contrasts beautifully with the field’s rich red background. In Iran, the iconic symbol of the lion, sword, and sun represent a spiritual leader and teacher, and their gaze is intended to break down the viewer’s barricades. In turn, this allows the viewer to look outward at the carpet, but inward upon themselves. This carpet is a superb example of traditional Persian lion carpets with the exceptional clarity of its motif. Since this piece measures just under 3’ x 5’, this Persian carpet is ideal for a bedroom, a living room, a den, or even an office space.
