These two pillows came from a mid-1800s Tribal Oriental Rug. A fiancée originally wove this rug as a dowry for her husband-to-be. Each pillow shows four sets of animals, symbolizing prosperity and the animals the couple would keep. I made pillows from this rug because a large section was cut out of it years ago, likely to fit around furniture. Many years ago, people did not always value these rugs as art. Other parts of the rug depict the parents, the couple, and more animals and flowers for their backyard. These rather unique designs add a tribal touch that fits many decors. The rug was professionally washed and is odor-free. They both measure approximately 18 inches wide by 15 inches high.
