Archaic hexagons adorned with double hooks cover the white-ground field in a diagonally arranged color composition. Small polygons fill both the interstices and the centers of the main motifs. The kilim ends in panels with archaic geometric designs. The light ground lends a particular brilliance and intensity to the early color palette.
