A dusty taupe field carrying two columns of Turkmen güls, each a rounded octagon quartered diagonally so that apricot and cream sit opposite one another, with small cross-shaped devices standing between the rows. Narrow borders of alternating cream and apricot star-güls run down both sides, and a panelled elem at each end holds a row of larger star-güls set in boxed compartments, closed by a broad diagonal-lattice band. Cream fringe at both ends.
Hand-knotted in wool. The whole rug is drawn with two colours: every piece of ornament on it, at every scale, is either cream or apricot, with dark brown doing all the outlining. There is no third accent anywhere. At 77×274cm this is a runner for a hallway or a landing. A mid-toned taupe ground hides everyday marks better than a pale rug, though not as well as a dark one.
