content: Collector's notes: "Dickson [H.R.P., 1949. "The Arab of the Desert"] shows a carpet as part of the men's tent furnishings. [This rug] might serve this purpose, but I suspect they were woven to meet the demands of Westerners who were anxious to purchase them if they resembled our rugs in size."
