See replica of world’s oldest rug

A replica of the oldest rug in the world, the Pazyryk carpet, is on display at Music for The Eyes, 314 First St., Langley, on Whidbey Island.

The rug was commissioned for the store and took three weavers four months to complete.

The oldest carpet in the world, discovered in Siberia in a frozen grave, probably buried in the 4th century B.C., is on display behind thick glass in a refrigerated case at the Hermitage Museum in St. Petersburg, Russia.
