Description
An authentic small masterpiece from Hereke with an uncommon and unique design: the creation.
The dominating image of this masterpiece looks like an angel with spread wings. Upon careful observation, however, it reveals a magnificent narrative, a story where the whole scene observed in its smallest details takes on other meanings. Nothing is what it seems and a drawing at first sight simple reveals the complexity of forms disguised in the folds of a cloak or scattered in the landscape from which the main representation stands out.
It is, in fact, the creation that appears as we proceed in the analysis: night and day, darkness and light, earth and water and then plants, animals and finally the human figure in the foreground, the synthesis between nature and divinity, between spirit and matter, a hybrid that, here, ideally passes through the primordial representation of the world.
It is an unusual decoration, created by skilled carpet weavers on designs made by talented ustad.
It has an original backlighting system that allows a perfect enhancement of the natural silk.
