| **Knots are estimated** The nice blue, red, and green in the border of this pillow add some richness. One of our best pieces. The tanks are very similar to those found in Two Ewer War Rugs. The long red, green, and blue false fringes on either side add some flair, as do the three tassles adorned with white shells in three of the four corners. |
