这是一条极为难得的18世纪真丝拜毯，由褐红、奶黄、灰绿、茄紫、蓝色、深褐、玫瑰红、深绿……等各色丝线编织而成，时光的流逝和祈祷者虔诚的跪拜，令整条古毯散发着沉稳的光泽，仿佛能追溯往昔，勾起人们对尘封岁月的无限感怀。在灯光的烘托下，五彩丝线熠熠闪光，纹理清晰可现，可以想见当年制成时的辉煌气象。原藏家将此毯装裱成镜框，与另一条喀桑镂空真丝毯一起悬挂于墙上，达40年之久，可见其珍视程度。
毯面正中为钻石形的中心葵图案，周边以辐射状环绕着四棵杉树，象征青春永驻，并饰以玫瑰花、棕榈叶及小垂饰。中心葵上方以精美花枝装饰的米哈拉布（圣坛）图案被认为是拜毯中最美的部分。在清真寺的墙面中都嵌有一座尖拱的壁龛，指向圣地麦加。这条拜毯当年的主人就是将圣坛图案正对着麦加的方向，虔心礼拜。
主面板之外环绕着三条边界，由一道细密的绳纹相隔。两条护边饰以花卉及棕榈叶纹饰，中间的主边界以一种符号化的连续图案表现狮子猎羊的场景。
这条拜毯毋庸置疑是收藏与投资的最佳选择。
This carpet is made of silk on silk and has a very holographic texture due to the shimmering silk colours of henna, cream, dark olive, aubergine, red dark blue, blue, yellow, dark brown, rose, green and dark green.
An artistic diamond shaped medallion in cream at the center of the carpet is decorated with four trees and tipped by two smaller pendants on top and bottom patterns of roses and palmettos. The fantastic mihrab design of flowers and leaves is considered the most beautiful in prayer rugs. A thin narrow line divides the main panel from the three frames; two minor borders decorated in flowers and palmettos and a central border that show a repetitive design of sheep being hunted by lions. This piece is definitely worth an investment.
