The date 1260 AH appears in the cen-
ter of the carpet’s middle field inside the
red medallion. This carpet reflects char-
acteristics specific to Gamarli carpets.
The composition of this red carpet con-
sists of a middle field and a border. The
main decoration of the middle field is a
large gyol (medallion). A green medal-
lion is placed inside the gyol. There is a
white rectangular element in the center
of the smaller dark red medallion inside
the similar-shaped medallion. An eight-
pointed star motif is depicted inside the
rectangular element. This element is
surrounded by navy blue su (water) on
the inside, yellow and navy blue su on
the outside, horseshoe-like motifs on the
right and left, and tree motifs in the up-
per and lower areas. In the empty parts
of the white gyol, there are small green
background octagonal medallions de-
signed with hooked motifs inside. The
x-shaped elements are represented in
navy blue, dark red, yellow, and black.
Jutbuynuz (double-horned) bulged ele-
ments are depicted at the top and bot-
tom.
Green, navy blue, and dark red s-
shaped motifs decorate the edges of the
gyol on the right and left. The edges of
the gyol are surrounded by navy blue
stripes, decorated with dark red serrat-
ed waves. The navy blue stripe on the
edges of the gyol is adorned using yel-
low su inside and white su outside.
Green elements with ridges of jut-
buynuz and small navy blue medal-
lions ornamented using stepped rhom-
bic evil-eye-catcher motifs from on the
inside are depicted in the corners of the
carpet’s middle field. The gaps are filled
with small four-petal flowers and green
x-shaped motifs. Classic elements with
stepped rims and small evil-eye-catcher
motifs embellish the dark brown main
border of the carpet. The classic ele-
ments are designed using white, blue,
yellow, green, dark red, navy blue, and
light blue, and evil-eye-catcher motifs
use dark red and white. The main border
is surrounded by yellow guard stripes
decorated using serrated waves on both
sides. The serrated waves are designed
with dark red, navy blue, and black.
The inner border is surrounded by red
and white madakhils on the outside and
white and brown madakhils from the in-
side. The outer border is surrounded by
madakhils designed using dark red and
white squares on both sides.
