A wool pile of symmetric knots on a wool foundation. This modern room-size piece borrows field panels in pale blue, beige, and rose, with zigzag merlons enclosing upright tulips and other garden flowers. The original single panels appear on 18th-century western and central Turkish Ladik prayer rugs. A strip-style border of pentagonal mihrabs in pale blue, beige, goldenrod, and salmon frames the composition.
