This rug has a small pattern light-red trellis field with corroded brown.  Its striking border has an abrashed blue-green ground, decorated with attractive, large-scale blossoms, curved leaves and blue selveges. 

Its field is similar to that in a third-quarter 19th century Kuba rug in Hali 47, page 87.  Its field design and color are also similar to a Zeikhur prayer rug, dated 1861, in Tschebull’s article in Hali 62, page 86.
