The date 1240 AH appears in the upper
section of the carpet’s middle field in the
right corner.
The artistic structure of the carpet con-
sists of a middle field and border. Two
large medallions with pointed arms com-
prise the major decorations of the sim-
ply structured middle field. In addition,
three rectangular medallions are placed
on the main medallions. X-shaped mo-
tifs with hooked tips inside the medal-
lions are located in the center of the gyols
(medallions). On the right and left of the
upper and lower navy blue medallions,
there are spiral-shaped bulges facing
each other. The medallions depicted in
the upper and lower parts are repeated
in smaller sizes (with narrower centers)
on the branches of the gyols facing to-
wards right and left. Inside the medal-
lions in the upper and lower areas, there
are dark red hooked motifs. The edges
of these motifs are decorated with light
blue su (water). The edges of the medal-
lions are outlined with z-shaped red and
white stripes on the inside and with light
green stripes on the outside.
Dark red su completes the stripes orna-
mented with z-shaped light green. The
wide light brown border of the carpet
is decorated using elements similar to
grapevine leaves. The elements are navy
blue, grey, and dark red. The border is
surrounded with madakhils adorned us-
ing dark red and cream-colored z-shaped
motifs on both sides. The color pattern of
the carpet has been realized with great
professionalism.
