More about the provenance Kolyai, ca. 1950 | Iran

The provenance is Kolyai (province of Kermanshah). Kolyai is located in West Iran. Kolyai rugs are usually made by Kurdish people.

This Kolyai, ca. 1950 has a "Herati" or "Mahi" design (has its origin in Herat, ca. 16th century, short for "Mahi to Hos" meaning "fish in the pond"). A rosette is surrounded by a rhombus which is again surrounded by four bent leaves. The name "Mahi" meaning "fish" was given to this design because the leaves resemble swimming fish.
