Garden Carpet
View through Harvard Museums
This garden carpet is named after the "Four Gardens" (Chahar Bagh) design of the Islamic era gardens. It shows a wide stream of water intersected by narrower courses on the side. Fish move towards the center in the streams. The units separated by the streams represent flowerbeds. The middle stream is interrupted by plots of flowering trees and every other plot becomes a source of four flowering trees that grow in the flowerbeds. The composition as a whole abounds with flowering plants, shrubs, and trees.
