wdswan@erols.com Dear Jerry and all, From Parviz Tanavoli’s Kings, Heroes, and Lovers, the following images are of a 1930’s Bidjar showing a variety of animals found in Persia. Tanavoli comments that this rug differs from most other Persian pictorial rugs in its lack of a theme, legend or tradition.
As are most of the other animals, the sheep are pretty clearly identifiable as what they are. It appears that they must also raise blue rabbits near Bidjar.
