Condition: An abstracted landscape is repeated on this rug; a minaret (ghazni minaret?) stands tall in the center as trucks drive around and behind the structure. A garden of trees and plants grows on either side of the minaret, woven in pile on sumac. The background features large blue mountains with trees against a dark blue sky in which planes and helicopters fly.
The Guli'Bajista technique continues in the border with bird-shaped figures (peacocks?). The two secondary borders are pile with flower shapes.
