The pictorial effect on the field of this Tabriz rug is highly unique. As is characteristic of the Tabriz style, an oval medallion occupies the center of the carpet field. However, unlike the customary palmette and floral motifs, the Javan Amir Khis design is filled with a small forest of trees and perched birds. The carpet depicts a mythical forest or heavenly garden. By creating a setting, this carpet continues the tradition of using carpets to tell stories, a tradition that began in Persia nearly 2,500 years ago.
