This large Ersari main carpet displays eight horizontal rows of three octagonal gulli guls; flat Memling guls and spider-like devices with six thin arms are placed between them as secondary designs. The rug was made by an Ersari tribal group that had migrated to Afghanistan, probably in a village workshop.
