The Sultan’s Palm Tree

This rug is handwoven from hand dyed Norwegian spelsau wool on a linen warp. In the city of Salalah in the south of Oman, the Sultan has a palace with a variety of palm trees that are not found anywhere else in Oman. The palms have a slender grey trunk with a dark brown line running through it. In this hot, tropical climate, even a pastel grey can seem radiant.
