Fiziksel açıklama
Cotton and wool prayer carpet with cusped arch and cusped double point at the lower end. The design shows a dark blue ground with vase and bands of flowers and flower-sprays. The vase is decorated with floral arabesques. Beneath the vase is a white ground scalloped half-diamond filled with arabesques with quarter-diamonds in the two lower corners. The two upper spandrels are of the same ground and similar decoration. The niche is scalloped and frames one large flaming palmette beneath an inverted crescent. Part of a tall tree in blossom is revealed to the extreme sides of the field. The main border has reciprocal floral sprigs in blue and dark orange. The inner and outer border have light green ground with naturalistic floral meander.
