Design: The overall design of this prayer rug is derived from an archaic statue design. It is decorated with three octagons enclosing dragon heads and the "T" motifs. A stylized candle is in the neck of the human being figure and hands are on either side of it. The hands are probably meant to indicate where the worshipper should place his hands while prostrating. The lozenges around the statue are stylized grape leaves.
