Details of a Hebrew silk Kashan rug, 1850s. 

This charming carpet, created as religious wall-hanging meant to convey Judaism’s basic ideologies (…) depicts the legendary visit of the Queen of Sheba to Solomon to test his legendary wisdom, as described in I Kings 10: “And when the Queen of Sheba heard of the fame of Solomon, and what he had done in the name of the Lord, she came to prove him with riddles”(Kings 10:1).
