Field  light blue ground with long 5-sided panel in dark blue with stepped triangular niche at lower end.  From a small light blue vase within the niche grows a sprig with 5 star-like flowers.  The central blossom bears a further vase and sprig (9 vases in all).  These produce the effect of 3 floral rows.  At the very top of the panel are 5 similar but independent floral stars and on either side of the floral sprigs are 9 pairs of yellow ovals.  Outside the panel, the field is heavily decorated with bands of 10 or 9 and two halves of yellow bowls of three flowerheads outlined in red, purple or light brown.  These form a single column on either side of the panel and 2 bands along the upper edge.  There is a band beyond the field's lower edge, it contains 5 yellow and light blue stylised motifs, which could resemble sunburst or double-headed eagles; these are outlined in red on a purple ground.\r\n\r\nBORDERS: There are ten, described from the inside:\r\n(1) which also isolates and surrounds the lower panel: yellow ground with angular S-motifs, sometimes in pairs or triples, separated by a short diagonal bar.  In the upper part of the border there are 8 flowers and leaves, but some of the motifs are light brown and hard to see.\r\n\r\n(2) yellow and light brown ground.  The lower part has a band of smaller and larger red triangles with light blue decoration.  They appear at the bottom of the side borders but then become a single row of light blue triangles outliend in dark brown and (along the top part) in dark blue.\r\n\r\n(3), (5), (7), and (9): dark brown ground (small part in dark blue by accident) with a simple floral sprig.\r\n\r\n(4), (6) and (8): same sprig on cream ground.\r\n(10): incomplete; yellow ground with part of a multi-coloured pattern.","artistMakerPerson":[],"artistMakerOrganisations":[],"artistMakerPeople":[],"materials":[],"techniques":[],"materialsAndTechniques":"","categories":[{"text":"Textiles","id":"THES48885"}],"styles":[],"collectionCode":{"text":"MES","id":"THES48607"},"images":["2017KA1752","2012FP7496","2013GB4235","2017KA1751","2017KA1754","2017KA1773","2019MA7360"],"imageResolution":"high","galleryLocations":[{"current":{"text":"005","id":"THES325753"},"free":"","case":"","shelf":"","box":""}],"partTypes":[[{"text":"Carpet","id":""}]],"contentWarnings":[{"apprise":"","note":""}],"placesOfOrigin":[{"place":{"text":"Turkey","id":"x29225"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"productionDates":[{"date":{"text":"18th/19th century","earliest":"1800-01-01","latest":"1900-12-31"},"association":{"text":"made","id":"x28654"},"note":""}],"associatedObjects":[],"creditLine":"","dimensions":[{"dimension":"Width","value":"1120","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"20/06/2017","earliest":"2017-06-20","latest":"2017-06-20"},"part":"Top edge","note":""},{"dimension":"Width","value":"1120","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"20/06/2017","earliest":"2017-06-20","latest":"2017-06-20"},"part":"Bottom edge","note":""},{"dimension":"Length","value":"1710","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"20/06/2017","earliest":"2017-06-20","latest":"2017-06-20"},"part":"Proper right edge","note":""},{"dimension":"Length","value":"1715","unit":"mm","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"20/06/2017","earliest":"2017-06-20","latest":"2017-06-20"},"part":"Proper left edge","note":""},{"dimension":"Weight","value":"15","unit":"kg","qualifier":"","date":{"text":"20/06/2017","earliest":"2017-06-20","latest":"2017-06-20"},"part":"Total weight; weight of roller 11.5kg","note":""}],"dimensionsNote":"Weight including roller","marksAndInscriptions":[],"objectHistory":"","historicalContext":"","briefDescription":"1700s, Turkish; Kula","bibliographicReferences":[],"production":"A gift with 4 other rugs.
