Stefano Ionescu's notes on this Blach Church prayer rug: "A particularly beautiful example with triple-arched niche that perfectly matches the description of the small group of coupled-column prayer rugs designated type I by Beattie. The lateral arch shows an unindented outline and there is no hanging ornament in place of the lamp. The field is almost always red and the bases of the thin columns mirror the capitals. Typically above the niche, there is a crenellated frieze and a deep panel with nice to eleven long-stemmed flowers. The main border is based on a curvilinear diamond cartouche."
