This Persian Bidjar runner is published in;

THE PERSIAN CARPET, ‘The Fabric of Life’, Essie Sakhai, Woodbridge, 2008.

pl. 227, p. 285.

This is an unusual Bidjar runner with a particularly attractive array of colours in the borders, including the apparently haphazard change from pale blue to yellow in the inner guard and in the field crosses. The main field pattern itself, consisting of ivory ground eight-pointed star cartouches alternating with red and yellow crosses, is one with a very long history in Islamic countries, being fround from Spain to Central Asia from the end of the 7th century onwards. The small flower repeated in each ivory star cartouche as well as the patterns in the borders remind us that Bidar was a Kurdish weaving centre. Woven in the late-19th century.
