Kurdish Tribal Rug Featuring Mythical Bird (Possibly the Simsiyar)
Subject
Avian mythological creatures.
Description
This is a Kurdish tribal rug depicting some sort of avian mythological creature. It looks more consistently bird-like than Simurgh like, as there are no canine features, so it is possible it is the mythological Simsiyar bird, which is said to live 1,000 years. It could also be an eagle.
