The Fil Poi design takes its name from the Fil Pai or elephant foot motif, a bold geometric form that appears in the carpet traditions of Afghanistan and Central Asia. The name refers to the large octagonal medallion forms that dominate the composition, which some have described as resembling the footprint of an elephant. The design has tribal roots shared with the broader Turkmen and Afghan weaving traditions.
The brown and rust ground at 4 ft 1 in x 5 ft 8 in is warm and earthy. The bold geometric pattern is knotted at 49 knots per square inch in pure wool on wool. At this small format the piece works as a bedside rug, accent piece or small sitting room carpet.
