This is a type of picture rug originating from the Middle East, such as Persia, made in 1975. It is a tapestry art piece used for wall hangings or decoration. It depicts a poignant portrait, and emotional themes are a characteristic feature of picture rugs. The material is a cotton base fabric handwoven with wool or silk threads, a genuine tapestry where the design is woven into the threads. The workshop and artist are unknown as the inscription is illegible except for the year. It is in good condition with an appropriate patina from aging.

1975年製のペルシャなど中東由来のピクチャーラグの一種で、壁掛けや装飾に使われるタスペトリーアート。切ない肖像を描いたもので、感情的なテーマが多いのもピクチャーラグの特徴。素材は綿の基布にウールや絹糸で手織りされており、糸で図柄を織り込んだ本格的なタスペトリー。年号以外は読解が不能の為、工房や作家者は不明。経年による適切な風合いを伴ったコンディション。
