WEFT: light red wool and shades of natural brown and white wool; Z2S; 2 shoots, sometimes 3 after each row of knots, one of each colour or combinations of red and white; 10 knots per inch (40 per dm).

Upper: 3 rows of weft wrapping in dark red and one row of weft twining in dark brown/white and two rows of weft wrapping in red. There is a woven edge finish in which the warp threads are one by one turned through a right angle, and acting as weft, are woven into the neighbouring warp threads. The loose ends form a short fringe running back along the carpet. (See Collingwood). DESIGN: Field: dark blue ground with multi-coloured Herati design. There is one row of diamonds which are red with flowers in a variety of colours. The curling leaves are also in a variety of colours but are paired.
