my dad collected antique /primitive weapons and fire arms. also included in his belongings were a few rugs. two very similar in appearance and one very different. the two like rugs are about 3ftx5ft a little larger perhaps, like several inches in each direction. both have same colors which are gold (school bus yellow really) , rust, cranberry , navy, ivory and a bit of black detail. i have no idea what the fiber is, but i will say they are fairly 'flexible'. i imagined them much stiffer. they both have fringe which is inconsistant on both length and style. i have included pictures. the other rug is larger and looks the same on both sides. while this one is thinner, it is more rigid...stiffer it looks like maybe bird and fish are repeated tin the pattern or at least a symbolic representation. it too has fringe but it is done with more sophistication. i dont know what else i can add aside from pictures. hope it is enough to be of help to you
