Silk on silk rugs of this type are woven with extraordinary precision, often achieving 300–600 knots per square inch. They are equally suited as wall hangings or display pieces as they are as floor rugs. The pictorial hunting design is among the most prestigious motifs in the Persian weaving tradition, evoking the royal gardens and hunts of the Safavid era.
