A Kurdish carpet with Baluch influence from the Northeast Persian area of Khorasan. The field contains eighteen starfish like large scale flowers, interspersed with an organized lattice of eighteen small white flower forms. Numerous filler elements are playfully scattered throughout the other open spaces in the field. The narrow minor border contains stylized rosettes, flanked by a pair of narrow mountain peak borders.
