This Kurdish rug is a finely crafted pictorial piece depicting the Iraqi Kurdistan National Assembly building, an emblem of Kurdish identity and pride. The rug portrays the assembly's grand façade with architectural precision, featuring tall, symmetrical windows, columned sides, and a central inscription in blue that adds a note of contrast to the golden and tan tones that dominate the structure. The detailed rendering of the building stands out against a muted green background, with the inscription "Iraqi Kurdistan National Assembly" woven clearly along the lower border. The craftsmanship, likely hand-knotted with wool and natural dyes, showcases the artisan's ability to blend cultural symbolism with technical skill. The use of earthy colours such as ochre, beige, brown, and soft green lends the rug a warm, dignified character. Fringed edges frame the composition, completing its authentic, handcrafted appearance. More than just a decorative textile, this rug serves as a commemorative artefact, reflecting both political heritage and Kurdish craftsmanship through a harmonious balance of form, colour, and meaning.
