Laley-Abbasi – Earrings, Diamond, Burgundy Enamel

Description

This motif, also referred to as medahil (“doorways”) or scepter head, is often found in Persian and Talish carpets.

This border is reciprocal – each part of the motif has the same shape so that two motifs fit together and are completely congruent. Any of these parts can be interpreted as subject or ground.
