Fiziksel açıklama
WARP: white wool; Z3S; 14 threads to the inch (52 per dm). WEFT: white cotton; Z3S; 2 shoots after each row of knots; 10 knots to the inch (40 per dm). PILE: wool; 11 colours: red, orange, dark yellow, yellow, dark green, green, dark blue, blue, dark brown, brown, white; symmetrical knot tied around 2 warp threads; 70 knots to the sq. inch (1040 per sq. dm). SIDE FINISH: both sides incomplete in large area, there are 2 cords overcast with light brown wool (goat's hair?) and small lengths in red and yellow. END FINISH: both ends missing. DESIGN: field: dark brown ground corroded (upper quarter is lighter); a central, full-width hexagon lies on an elongated hexagon with dark brown ground which, in turn, lies on a white ground, nearly full-length hexagon with a small pointed niche at both ends. The central medallion has a dark blue ground chequered with small red and white squares; a band with yellow ground across the top of the widest part is chequered red and blue. The middle hexagon is heavily decorated with red stems extending in each half from three vertical lines, the central one bearing a lozenge - white with a multi-coloured chequered centre in the lower half and bue with a yellow and red chequered centre in the upper half. In the outer hexagon, the white ground in the patterned area becomes a series of narrow vertical lines with complementary horizontal zigzags forming vertical, split, dark blue hexagons in the lower half, with a change to dark brown at the top of the upper half. Each small hexagon contains two pairs of small squares in a variety of colours. This decoration continues into the niches which each have a pair of ear-like protuberances. The outer field is strewn with stylised flowrs filled with the coloured squares seen elsewhere and with two small floral sprigs above the lower borders. Borders: inner border: a white ground with a dark blue meander, occasionally dark brown, within which are small coloured squares in groups of three. Outer border: a diamond=headed reciprocal pattern in dark yellow and green, outlined in blue; in the upper border it becomes a red and blue reciprocal merging into a final white band.
