The slender gallery proportion carpet was likely never destined for commercial sale rather intended as a part of an audience set consisting of 4 or 5 pieces of which this would have been the largest item. The concept is that of furnishing a mobile court for a Kurdish Khan with a flexible seating arrangement hence the description of audience.\the design is that of a classic Mineh Khaneh pattern - flowers seen flat on.
The condition is worn and at some point a clumsy attempt at making good with permanent textile dyes was applied to worn areas to disguise the worn condition of this otherwise noble carpet
