Oriental carpet, runner size, made of knotted wool. Midfield: broken zigzag bands form nine and a half diamond on a dark blue background. The background shows a very finely scattered pattern of small lotuses and palmettes, rosette flowers and pairs of turned and averted birds in white, red, pink, light blue and yellow. Three edges: the middle and widest is red with lotus flowers in pink, lilac and bleu, connected by a broken string of green. The inner and outer edges are the same: narrow white with a running tendril with chalice turning inwards and outwards in turn. At one end, about 35 cm of the substrate is light blue in color. Here and there the pile is worn down to the knot, otherwise the cloth is in fairly good condition.
