{"label":"Ispahan Rug","metadata":[{"label":"Date","value":"early 17th Century"}],"description":"Herat ( so-called Ispahan) rug from eastern Persia.\r\n\r\nOn a purplish-red field an all-over pattern in blue and green of large and small palmettes connected by vines and serrated leaves.  Three border stripes, the main one repeating the palmette and vine pattern on a dark blue field.\r\n\r\nSehna knot - about 168 to the square inch.  Edges overcast.\r\nHerat, an old Persian city now situated in Afghanistan, was in Shah Abbas' time (1586-1628) the center of learning and culkture.  In the rugs we notice an extreme of refinement in color, but since the city has become part of Afghanistan there is a \"certain wild grandeur\" corresponding to the Afghan character woven into their work.  Herati rugs are closely woven of fine wool and good dyes.","related":[{"format":"text/html","label":"View details","@id":"https://emuseum.huntington.org/objects/22546/ispahan-rug"}],"rendering":[{"format":"text/html","label":"View details","@id":"https://emuseum.huntington.org/objects/22546/ispahan-rug"}],"sequences":[{"label":"default","canvases":[],"@type":"sc:Sequence","@id":"https://emuseum.huntington.org/apis/iiif/presentation/v2/1-objects-22546/sequence/default","@context":"http://iiif.io/api/presentation/2/context.json"}],"logo":[{"@id":"https://emuseum.huntington.org/internal/media/logodispatcher/Huntington_Wordmark_SingleLine_L1Green.jpg"}],"@type":"sc:Manifest","@id":"https://emuseum.huntington.org/apis/iiif/presentation/v2/1-objects-22546/manifest","@context":"http://iiif.io/api/presentation/2/context.json"}
