The date 1209 AH and writings in
Arabic are embroidered at the top part
of the carpet, inside the border with
the white background on the right and
left. This carpet is unique for its artis-
tic features. The carpet was woven on
the basis of a Gazakh composition. The
main decoration of the green back-
ground center field consists of large
gyols (medallion), two of which have
dark brown backgrounds and one
with a yellow background. Inside the
brown background gyols, there are
dark red classic elements with stepped
edges, but inside the yellow back-
ground medallion there are classic el-
ements with stepped edges on a navy
blue background. The edges of the red
stepped motifs are adorned with navy
blue stripes and red su (water), but the
edges of the navy blue stepped motif
are embellished with red su and green
stripes. The edges of the white hooks
on the edge of the red-set motifs were
designed with twelve red hook motifs.
The rims of the navy blue background
motif in the center are adorned with
red hooks. At the top part of the center
field of the carpet, white, red, and yel-
low rectangular elements are found.
There are also goshabuynuz (double-
horned) motifs among these elements.
The empty parts of the middle field are
filled with other goshabuynuz, hex-
agonal, classic stepped edge, evil-eye-
catching, damga (stamp), and floral
motifs. The wide white background
border of the carpet is decorated with
dark red, green, yellow, navy blue,
and blue rhomboid motifs that have
hooked protrusions at the top and bot-
tom. The colors of the border elements
create a rhythmic pattern ranging
through alternating colors. The mid-
dle border is surrounded with guard
stripes designed with navy blue and
dark red mollabashi (chamomile) mo-
tifs on both sides. The inner border is
complemented by yellow and red si-
chandishi (mouse teeth) on the outside
and white and red sichandishi on the
inside. The edges of the sichandishi
are designed with dark brown su. The
overall color range of the carpet is in
harmony and the contrast of all colors
makes them more noticeable.
