Design & comments:
Double-mihrab prayer rug decorated with stylized
stars and flowers. The inner seam of the prayer
niche is decorated with stylized flowers. In the
field :In each corner triangle figures with
several contours and pendants of amuletic
character. These patterns are called Nazarlik (
symbol against the evil eye).We find also
highly stylized pomegranates in the form of four
dotted lozenges and a lot of animals in the
Caucasian style (in particular two marvelous
birds at each side of the top of the mihrab) The
sides have inward-pointing prongs. The main
border is of the calyx and leave border type.
Seven minor borders with geometrical patterns.
