Made Persian

Persian Rugs are Symbolic With Magical Quality and Prosperity
As many people know there are many different types of rugs that you can buy. There is one type of rug that is symbolic with prosperity. This is the famed rugs of Persia, or as we call them Persian rugs. Now even though you can’t use these carpets to fly anywhere they still have a magical quality about them. As you lay one of these Persian rugs in your home you will be able to see the intricate beauty that is one of the key elements about these rugs.
Now even though many people like to own Persian rugs they simply aren’t too sure if they can afford to have these magnificent specimens in their homes. As a result of this they may look for inferior rugs that claim to possess all of the beauty and quality of Persian rugs without their price. Buying a rug like this will only cheat you of the experience of having a richly woven Persian rug in your home.
While there are many very expensive Persian rugs for sale you can still find high quality Persian rugs that can fit your budget and these still look nice. The main thing that you will need to see is that you are buying a good quality rug. You should also see the size and shape of the rug that you want to have in your home.
As there are so many color shades and shapes on the Persian rugs, you should decide what are the complementary colors and main colors that you want your new rug to have. This way you can match your new Persian rug to your existing furniture. The other way that you can choose a gorgeous Persian rug for your home is to start with some pictures of Persian rugs that catch your eye and an empty room.
With the pictures you can see what shade your walls should be like and if you want a wooden floor. You can even see if your Persian rugs would look great on a fully carpeted floor in a neutral shade. From here you can also decide on the theme that you want this room to have. Once you have your room furnishings decided on you need to see what size Persian rugs you wan to buy.
This is important since many times you will find Persian rugs that are like miniature carpets. There is no real problem if you would like to have an area rug sized Persian rug or even larger. This way you can get the excellence of Persian carpets minus the high price. You also have the added bonus of being able to take your Persian rug with you when you move house.

Antique Tribal
What is it? A boar tooth?
I bought this necklace at a goodwill and don’t know too much about zoology or animal teeth. Any clue what it could be and how old you think it is??? Do you think it’s an antique tribal necklace or just a recent made on someone made for fun.

Bear claws are not flat though. Plus, they look like teeth, not claws. And these are too big to be on a small animal. Any other suggestions?
Cowboy, I appreciate your advice, but your run on sentence kind of confuses me. Hanging what? I don’t mean this to be rude in any way, it’s just a little confusing the way you wrote it. Also, we have a stuffed bear hanging on my father-in-law’s wall that he caught a few years ago and it looks nothing like it. Does anyone have pics for an example?
It looks like someone made a necklace out of boar’s teeth. They especially like to hunt them in the southern US. I doubt if it is a tribal necklace unless it came from Africa. It could be from peccaries and from the Southwest US or Latin America.
