Step into a world where timeless allure intertwines with tribal enchantment in the embrace of this vintage Indian Mahal rug. Hand-knotted with care and reverence, this vintage Indian rug invites you to witness the magic woven into every fiber.

At its heart lies a stepped lozenge medallion, a radiant centerpiece adorned with a light green elibelinde, the iconic "hands on hip" motif that whispers of ancient stories.

The borders echo the Herat style, a testament to its heritage. With each loop and curve, a sense of order emerges, defining the boundaries of this enchanting masterpiece. An outer cross guard border adds a touch of structure, guiding the eye along the edges with a subtle grace.
