Vase Carpet
On view at The Met Fifth Avenue in Gallery 462
This richly colored carpet features stylized floral motifs interspersed with scrolling vines. The designation "vase" carpet refers to the distinctive weaving technique used to create this carpet and others like it, many of which feature vase motifs in their designs. The bottom edge of this carpet displays a different design than the rest, suggesting that the weaver decided to alter the planned design about eighteen inches into the weaving process.
