Step into the world of traditional celebration with this unused Soumak wedding horse cover, a richly symbolic and visually stunning textile woven by tribal artisans. Created for ceremonial use—often draped over horses as the bride traveled to her groom's home—this piece is a vibrant expression of love, luck, and new beginnings.

Handwoven using the Soumak flatweave technique, this rug features colorful horses, deer, birds, and rabbits in dynamic movement, surrounded by tribal floral motifs and protective symbols. A central medallion highlights a gazelle, the symbol of beauty and grace. The animal figures are not just decorative—they were traditionally believed to bring good fortune, fertility, and abundance to the new couple.

Made from 100% hand-spun wool, this collector’s piece bursts with authentic character and historical soul. Perfect for hanging on a wall, draping over furniture, or displaying as a statement artwork in bohemian, rustic, or maximalist interiors.
