A two-part depiction of the date 1230 AH
appears at the top of the carpet’s middle
field with a dark red setting, below the navy
blue medallion.
There is one blue and two navy-blue me-
dallions on the middle field of the carpet.
Inside the medallions at the top and in the
center, square net-like motifs designed of
dark red, cream, and blue appear.
The edges of the medallions are accom-
panied by white su (water). The gaps in the
center field are filled with triangular and
rhomboid elements. These elements are
adorned with blue and cream colors. The top
and bottom of the middle field are decorated
by blue elements with a protruding center.
The edges of these elements are surrounded
with su.
The wide border of the carpet with a green
setting is embellished using dark red eight-
petal flowers. Navy blue, yellow, white, and
blue motifs similar to eight-pointed stars are
used inside the flowers, but at the bottom
there are rectangular motifs with bulged
edges. The border is surrounded with white
and dark red zigzags inside and red stripes
outside. The red stripe is complemented
with yellow su on the inside and incomplete
white and red lines on the outside.
The edges of the zigzags were finished
with brown and red su. The narrower bor-
der of the carpet is decorated using brown
and white hooked elements. There are red
gazma on the edges of the hooked elements.
Blue and red zigzag madakhils surround
the border. Red and yellow square motifs
and incomplete lines surround the madakh-
ils. The edges of the carpet are traditionally
finished in red and blue, using a winding
method.
