Yomud Main Carpet

5' 5" X 6' 6"
 

17

Unusual (though far from unique) features of this carpet include the contrast between “boat” main borders at the ends vs. geometric ones along the sides, and the very attractive chemche version of the secondary guls. Altogether, the carpet has an open, pleasing look to it.
