Within interlocking stepped medallions, jewel-shaped pendants grow to the vertical corners of the diamond chain as though pushing them into shape. There, and in the lapis blue field, opposingly postured wild fowl (known as 'murghi' working tirelessly to feed their young) vie for precedence amidst a diverse landscape of apotropaic elements scattered across the field designed to bestow good fortune upon whoever possesses it. Whirling pinwheel florets, tiny S-shaped cloudbands, sprouting boteh (Seeds of Life), and other spontaneous ornaments make up the panoply of tertiary motifs that give this rug its power.
