Here, two facing stag motifs inspired by the famous Pazyryk rug - the oldest known knotted carpet, are depicted in a shaded green field (nature). The field is framed in an ivory border of polychrome rosettes divided by paired quartered lozenges between flower head motif stripes and outer reciprocal skittle-pattern stripe (medakhil). The inner minor border contains a tamga (tribal seal) of Afshar tribe, two swastika and ashyk motifs. |
