| Artist/Maker | |
| Place of origin |
Rug with a yellow ground and a stylised floral pattern in blue, white and red. Inside a border is a four-corner design and a central medallion worked in metallic threads in the weft-wrap weave technique known as soumak. The rest of the rug is of knotted silk pile. It has a deep fringe at either end which has been encased in net by Conservation. This partly obscures a short unread inscription.
