In Pursuit of Gazelles carpet panel

A hunt is shown in progress in a scene that reminds us of early Qajar paintings.

Galloping horses and grey hounds chase a pair of gazelles that seem reluctant to run away ! and no wonder.

Master Arabzadeh has woven into the top border a couplet that explains that  reluctance:

How long do you keep up my pursuit your mount must be exhausted.

Wait a while and I will walk with my own feet into your bondage.
