This carpet, featuring 132 pairs of animals, each in its own natural habitat, is a masterpiece in itself. Some observers liken it to Noah’s Ark, which is indeed a noteworthy observation. However, the primary theme here is the jungle, and it reflects Lahiji’s unique perspective on forests, animals, and plants. This design dates back 15 years and only two copies of it exist, making it an exceptionally rare and remarkable creation.
“The Jungle” showcases the intricate relationship between the diverse fauna and flora within a forest ecosystem, capturing the essence of this complex and enchanting natural world in the form of a carpet.
