Description: An oasis in a sunned desert is to a weary traveler what the first raindrops are to a parched field – a welcome relief after long bouts of agony. The oasis is perhaps more than this too for it provides not only food and shelter but it nurtures hope and determination for the Caravan to move ahead on the road of its destiny. This Oasis carpet is a symbolic representation of all the amalgamated qualities of the desert oasis and the weaver has deftly used his magic by providing intricate expressions in this soothing endeavor in the form of the three central Oases conjoined with hooked lattice work. The seven borders are the representation of the seven colors or seven planets (the people of that time had assumed there were that many only) interspersed with arrow-heads and spirals being traditional tribal and nomadic symbols. Bluish black as the dominant color with illuminating tones of butter yellow, gold, cocoa brown and beige makes this Oasis carpet a first choice for an unusual purchase.
