DescriptionLeaf-shaped medallion that frames a floral motif with two leaves from which stem branches with leaves and four pomegranate-like fruits. The ground is browish blue and the design is woven with yellow, green and light brown; a dark red band encloses the leaf motif. Like 11.88. Design shows Sassanian influence.
