Most Tekke small rugs have
a diminutive form of the main carpet gul, although chuval guls are
seen reasonably frequently as well. The 8-pointed star in the middle
of the main gul is very uncommon. But what really distinguishes this
example is the five- box minor gul—the owner knows no other Tekke
small rug with this minor gul, although it is occasionally seen in
chuvals. The border drawing is like a small-scale version of a main
carpet, with plain octagons separated by unique elements on the
sides, and interspersed with “barberpoles” on the ends.
