The artistic structure of the carpet consists of a central field divided into inclined motifs and a border. The motifs in the
central field are blue, dark red, light green, ivory, yellow, and orange-yellow.
There are tree depictions with branches containing flowers and leaves inside the motifs. The flowers and leaves are trim-
med with cornelian, yellow, dark blue, blue, white, ivory, green, orange, black, and light brown. The motifs are separated
from each other by narrow dark blue stripes. There are four-petal flowers trimmed with white and dark red in the stripes.
The white major border is decorated with octagonal medallions trimmed internally with hook-like elements. The medal-
lions are depicted on a bright red, dark red, yellow, and blue background; hook-like elements trimmed with bright red ap-
pear on a yellow background, with green and blue elements on a dark red background, dark blue, green, and blue elements
on a bright red background, and yellow elements on a blue background. There are triangular elements in the empty spaces
among the octagonal medallions. The elements with rhomb-shaped tips shown face-to-face appear among the triangular
elements. These elements are in the form of straight lines on the right and left borders and in the form of strips in the upper
and lower sections. The colour of the main elements in the major border are repeated in the filler elements as well.
