About this work

Oriental carpet of knotted wool. Central field: on a cerise red ground, an infinite repeat of staggered rows of the Min-i-Bota, large-scale and curving left and right, composed of a cluster of flowers in white, black, and yellow. Three borders and four intermediate selvedges with the running dog in white and black; the middle border is red, featuring multicolored octagons with a star figure, alternating with four small Min-i-Botas. The inner and outer borders are identical: blue with carnations. The carpet is in very good condition: high pile and intact selvedges.
