I have focused on the court carpets of the 16th century but it occurred to me that there are other rugs to study. Over a period of time I will collect images of these rugs that appear in miniatures. I have decided to call them "Ordinary Rugs". Since they may be tribal, village or city rugs I wanted a term to differentiate them from rugs that are obviously produced at the court workshops.
