In the central field, light green in the lower section and dark green in the upper one, there is a white hexagon filled with tiny brown ornaments, with large hooks on the slanted sides and tiny flowers resembling tulips at the vertical edges. In the centre of the hexagon a medallion with pendants – blue, decorated with a four-petal aubergine-coloured rosette, outlined in white, filled with green floral motifs. Around the rosette tiny floral ornaments and symmetrically composed three-pronged forms along the axis, while along the edge small rosettes with centrally inscribed rhombuses and S-shaped serrated floral motifs on slanted stalks growing out of them. In the central field corners large serrated leaves and rosettes. We warmly invite you to become more acquainted with full description of this rug published in “Prayer Rugs Collection catalogue" by Katarzyna Połujan (Teresa Sahakian Foundation, The Royal Castle in Warsaw – Museum), Warsaw 2015.
