FROM THE COLLECTION OF ABDI ROUBENI
This carpet has an unusually high knot density for a work of such proportions –in excess of 20,000,000 (20 million) - a mark of the extraordinary skill and diligence one can associate with works produced from the Saber workshop. For further information on the masterweavers in Mashad see Shaffer, D., ‘Amoghli’, Hali, Summer 2016, issue 188, p. 107.
