Arab Khamseh

The "Rumi Rug", one of about thirteen known on the planet with this design. Which is known to be inspired by this poem by Rumi: I died as a mineral and became a plant, I died as a plant and rose to animal, I died as an animal and I was a man. Why should I fear? When was I less by dying? Yet once more I shall die as man, to soar with blessed angels, but even from angelhood I must pass on, all except God perishes. When I have sacrificed my angel-soul, I shall become that which no mind has ever conceived.
