| This is an abstracted scene of a modern city. Two scenes are displayed horizontally on the runner. Two squares, shown at bottom, appeared to be like a rug documented by Schlosser until Nigel Lendon pointed out it is the pictorial image repeating and cropped. Jagged leaf border seen in a previously documented rug, and a "sary gyra" design has been documented in Arabatchi and Ersari.
Perhaps depicting the Bosphorus Bridge which connects Europe to Asia. |
