This rug, one of the rarest and most exciting pieces in the Boucher Collection has stylized paisley motifs filling the ivory-colored field. Apart from prayer rugs of the 20th century, only a few rugs of this field design are known.
Note the three upside-down animal figures in the lower left-hand corner of the ivory field.
