JBOC: I suspect that is a Saliani Long Rug. I will grant that it has a main border that is seen on Tallish rugs but the inner guard border is uncharacteristic and seems more like a Marasali in execution. Saliani rugs are known to use this main border and length width ratio Salian is in-between the Talish area and the Shirvan area and is north of Massaly.
