19th century, 4'7" x 3'3" [m 1.38 X 0.98]
Warp: wool
Weft: wool, two shoots after each row of knots
Knotting: Ghiordes, wool, 135 knots per square inch [2150 per dm.2]
Like the rug in Plate 34,
this is a characteristic Daghestan. Although the ground is darker and it is
not a prayer rug, the design is essentially the same. The characteristic
white background filled with a variety of multicolored flowers could be seen
as a design on the diagonal, following the warp threads. The borders are a
crenellated edge, flowers in a row, and the vestigial dragon, but in this
example they play a more prominent part than in Plate 34.
