The main
border construct consists of hooked diamonds in alternating
tones of mid-blue and ruby-red. Yellow is employed in a restrained
and pragmatic manner as an accent tone. The field is divided
into what appears to be five rectilinear compartments. Repetitive
geometric motifs executed in the Kurdish tradition appear
across the ground areas. The dyes present a limited range
of richly saturated color. One finds, in particular, an extensive
use of a mahogany-brown commonly associated with Kurdish work
of considerable age.
Condition:
Fragment. Portions of the sides and ends are lost. Some areas
of low pile. Most of the existing pile is, however, full and
lustrous.
