A Caucasian Talish carpet with an unusual design of long necked boteh or paisleys covering the entire red coloured central panel space of the field. Each boteh is abstract and random and is inscribed with a budding floral icon. The rug is framed by a handsome major border of interconnected diamonds. Two minor borders surround the major border and are filled with reciprocal trefoil iconography.
