In the lower part of the white gyol (me-
dallion) of the middle field, the date 1270
AH appears.
A large gyol with a white background
is placed in the middle field of this car-
pet with a brick red setting. A green me-
dallion is found in the center of the gyol.
A red hexagonal element is placed in
the center of the medallion. The rectan-
gular motif with goshabuynuz (double-
horned) bulges and edges designed us-
ing blue hues attracts attention. A yellow
eight-pointed star is found in the center
of the rectangular element’s purple back-
ground. The rims of this geometric ele-
ment are surrounded by small red and
yellow square motifs and light blue su
(water). The images of a stylized pair of
birds and flowers decorate the gaps in the
red hexagonal medallion. The edges of
the medallion are completed with white
sichandishi (mouse teeth). White back-
ground rectangular geometric elements
divided into dark and light brown trian-
gular parts are depicted in the corners of
the green medallions. The edges of these
elements are complemented with red col-
ors. Motifs like dordayagli gush (four-
legged bird), evil-eye-catcher, rectangular
shapes, and goshabuynuz bulges set op-
posite each other fill the empty spaces of
the white gyol. Elements called sirga (ear-
ring) are designed in a chain arrangement
to fill the gaps on the edges of the gyol.
The borders of the gyol are finished with
red su and green stripes designed using
red zigzags on the inside. Red, black,
and yellow su are used for the inside and
white and black su are used for the out-
side of the stripes. Small blue rectangular
medallions are depicted in the upper and
lower parts of the large white mehrab-
like gyol, to the right and left of the meh-
rab (altar). The inside of the medallions
is divided into red and yellow triangles.
There are tiny red and white star motifs
on the edges of the medallion. The brick-
colored gaps in the middle field are deco-
rated using images of yellow, light blue,
green, brown, and white hooks, flowers,
goshabuynuz, stylized humans, four-
legged fictional birds, stylized deer, and
points. The carpet’s white border is de-
signed using classic elements character-
istic for Ganja-Gazakh. Light blue, green,
yellow, blue, red, and navy blue are em-
ployed for these elements. The narrow
navy blue stripe is finished with white,
red, yellow, light brown, and green eight-
pointed stars. The white, red, and yellow
sichandishi surround the borders on both
sides. Light and navy blue zigzag mada-
khils, complemented by sichandishi on
the edges, comprise the white border on
the outside.
