A pearl-studded carpet believed to have been created in India more than 100 years ago as a gift for the tomb of the Prophet Mohammed was sold in Qatar for almost $5.5 million, the auctioneers said.
Sotheby's auction house said it had expected bidding for the Pearl Carpet of Baroda to start at five million dollars and believed it would fetch a much higher price.
But the starting price was brought down to $4.5 million because there were few buyers, Sotheby's spokesman Habib Basha told AFP in Doha.
"We had to reduce the opening bid to $4.5 million and the pearl carpet (eventually) sold at $5.458 million," including commission and fees, he said.
The eventual buyer was one of three bidders but he wishes to remain anonymous, Mr Basha added.
The carpet is traditionally believed to have been commissioned by the maharajah of Baroda as a gift for the prophet's tomb, which is located in the Muslim holy city of Medina in Saudi Arabia, Sotheby's said on its website.
