ANTIOUE MOSOUE RUG OF XVIIIth CENTURY 
'SL/ 
KOULA WEAVE 
Among the Antique Rugs of the East, the Sedjade or 
Prayer Rug more often expresses in its design the indi¬ 
viduality of its weaver. 
These rugs, woven with a patience and a zeal inspired 
by the devotional use for which they were intended, 
today stand as interesting examples of the highest art 
of that time and people. 
Our collection includes many superb specimens of 
Mosque Rugs, as well as many others of unusual size 
and interest.
