A SILK HERALDIC RUG, POSSIBLY KASHAN, CENTRAL PERSIA, EARLY 20TH CENTURY
Interestingly, all of the figures depicted in the present lot are two or four legged and many are with wings, apart from the closest square to the center of the design which contains the rather surprising image of a common snail. Neither winged or with legs, this small creature is neither fierce nor bold. It is the personification of patience in life and encourages one to remain calm and tolerant. [x]
