O.k., here they are (the famous Persian/Scythian Pazyryk carpet, 5th 
century BC)... I found them on Wikipedia.

Unfortunately, I failed to find images of carpets made around the 
beginning of the Christian Era, as far as I know, the next-younger 
carpet fragments date from about 400 CE!

But this Achaemenid masterpiece is really stunning... I wonder whether 
modern replicas exist, I really could imagine such carpets lying on the 
floor of LanuHum's modernist home!

See you in Khyberspace!
