Spoken from the heart Carpet Panel

Another quatrain from Khayyam has served as the starting point for the design of this rug: those who have preceded us/ are all dead in spite of their bombast/ drink wine and listen to the truth of the matter / all that they said was nothing but empty boasts the background, rendered in muted beige and filled with intermingling figures represents the realm of death. the living the couple in the middle of the rug are rendered in vibrant colours.
