A wool pile of symmetric knots on a wool foundation. The consistent imagery of a girl in blue, gesturing broadly, flanked by tall women on an ecru ground, defines this enigmatic group of rugs. Above, a schematic, riderless horse canters to the right. The darker blue border features connected palmettes, rosettes, and hooked leaves. The original pictorial source or foundational tale remains unknown.
