Inspired by the luxurious carpets in the height of the Mamluk Sultanate of the 13th to early 16th centuries this piece is woven with the same methodology of weaving with age-old techniques. This runner has cotton warps running through the foundation of the rug where each knot is tied together with two warp threads. The handspun and carefully dyed pure wool yarn with jewel-like colours then forms the pile. In between each row of knots weft threads are woven across the width of the runner. The knots and weft are densely packed down as the runner is woven. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMamluk Design Repertory of Motifs\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis handknotted runner contains many elements and design features that can also be found in rare museum quality Mamluk Carpets.
