Shimmer with color splash. In form, this has all the elements of a Talsint sleeping rug—sawtooth selvedges, striped flatweave ends, and an idiosyncratic motif. The fade of the high-knotted pile softens it all. The complex branched motif that fills the field, visible on the back, becomes a nearly marbled field of silver and mauve on the front. High contrast knots of green, blue, and orange, in wool and, in an apparent later addition, mixed fiber threads, add surprise. The colors repeat on the flatweave edges, one ending in braided fringe.
