Description: Generally it is in the tribal tradition that one is likely to find most of the pictorial rugs. The main reason for this seems to be that in the tribal tradition lack of symmetry is not considered to be a fault, but is seen as the weaver's innovation. And because most live forms, stylized or otherwise, are difficult to weave into a rug, a tribal weaver, being free from the constraints of symmetry is more likely to use his/her imagination to throw in live forms wherever space allows. The most common pictorial motifs are: The Laila Majnu design. This is named after the famed Tribal astronomer and mathematician who also wrote poems on love and wine. In this design it is common to see live forms of a man and a woman, normally accompanied with a jug of wine and a goblet. A variation of this is when a minstrel may be depicted playing a musical instrument. This is named for an epic love story very popular in many muslim countries, and shows a man and a woman in different poses/postures, as the weavers tried to weave into their rugs what they were seeing around them. Moving slightly away from this, it was not uncommon to see uniformed generals depicted in some of the rugs. And in the same tradition.
