The Bright Speen (White) Field Masterpiece
This small, hand-knotted takiya (cushion top or mat) is a powerful piece, a testament to the weaver's use of symbolic design. It features a luminous, open Cream/Ivory field—the speen (white) field—which is rare and beautiful.
The center of the mat is anchored by four large, stylized Cross Motifs in deep burgundy, black, and red. These powerful, central emblems are often interpreted as talismans or stylized figures, woven to offer protection and good fortune. The motif is framed by a complex, multi-layered border in rich burgundy, brown, and gold, with intricate geometric zigzags and lattice work. This design complexity, combined with the bright field, makes this Baluchi/Afghan style mat a uniquely striking and cherished heirloom accent
