This very fine and early Resht embroidery is made from shaped pieces of napped woven wool broadcloth sewn together to form the overall design. There is a wide range of color used, 17 total, and the seams are couched with dark wool and gold silk. The striking faces in the four corners of the main border depict the sun maiden, Khorshid Khanum, an unusual feature to find on a Resht. For an in depth article about this Resht, please see P. Mushak, Oriental Rug Review, Vol. IV, No. 7, October 1984, pgs. 8-11.
