A wine red field carrying two columns of Turkmen güls — rounded octagons, each quartered and filled with small hooked devices in cream, teal and apricot — running the full six metres of the runner, with a small cruciform motif between every pair. Narrow multiple borders frame it: a band of diamonds, a row of small güls, and several fine guard stripes, all worked in the same restricted palette as the field. Cream fringe at both ends.
Hand-knotted in wool. At 76×609cm this is an exceptionally long runner — just over six metres, twenty feet — which puts it well beyond the reach of most domestic corridors. Measure carefully, and note that a rug this long is difficult to turn in a stairwell or a tight hallway. The wine red ground shifts noticeably along its length, from a deeper oxblood at one end to a lighter rose at the other; that is abrash, the mark of hand-spun wool dyed in small lots, and on a plain-ground rug of this scale it is unavoidable and part of the character.
