Dhurrie kilim

The field is filled with a small-scale allover lattice of interlocking medallions in cream and rose, each enclosing a tiny star rosette, set against a golden-tan ground. A narrow ivory band with a fine meandering vine separates the field from the wide border, which carries a continuous red and navy fret (key-pattern) design running the full perimeter. Fringed ends are visible at top and bottom.

    An open field of even sage green fills nearly the entire surface, uninterrupted by pattern or ornament. It is framed by a slender pair of tan lines set close together, with a wider taupe border running along the outer edge, and the fringed ends left plain at top and bottom.

    The field is organized as a grid of horizontal registers alternating broad red-orange bands with narrower stripes of gray, punctuated by small blocks of purple, gold, and near-black. Fine vertical pinstripes cross the entire length, creating a regular checkered division across the surface. There is no distinct border; the banded pattern runs edge to edge, finishing in a plain warp fringe at both ends.

    An undecorated field in ivory-white pile is worked in a subtle high-low texture, with a cluster of raised vertical ridges set slightly left of center breaking the otherwise plain surface. Fine dark flecks run in scattered rows throughout, echoed by a narrow dark selvage at each long edge, while both ends finish in loose dark fringe. The inset detail shows the looped, knotted texture of the surface up close.

    The surface presents an all-over grey ground, flecked with irregular touches of darker charcoal and occasional warm brown fibers scattered throughout. Thin horizontal striations of pale, undyed white run at intervals across the field, breaking the otherwise uniform tone. The close-up inset reveals the looped, nubby texture of the surface up close, showing the mingled grey and white strands more distinctly than the overall view.

    A plain sample of flatwoven surface in a warm tan tone, its upper portion left open and unadorned, giving way below to a band of vertical ivory ridges formed by a thick, looped texture running in parallel columns. Dark brown fringe finishes both ends, and an inset detail circle highlights the close interlacing of the ivory loops against the tan ground.
