event comment: carpet with wine red font. Wide border in main colour with geometric serrated inscription. The colours dark green and purple-brown. At the centre the poligones with dark contours and the “H” mark and the quatrefoil in diagonal with bright red and brown. Throughout the carpet, lighter and darker shades of red and brown alternate, typical of a hand-knotted carpet. At the ends of the narrower side, a vulgar band and short fringes of shiny wool. Knotted on single warp ring. Tree and warp wool. Yarn coarse.
