Wedding blanket

(UEM49199) The vertical edges have double borders with the multicloured diagonal lines pattern on all four edges. The centre of both panels is divided into three sections. Each outer section has a diamond which is decorated with flowers and living creatures (camels, birds, insects and human figures) on the inside and outside. In the big middle section of each panel there are two architectonic motifs (possibly a mosque) with their roofs converging towards the centre. Otherwise all over decoration of geometric and vegetal motifs.
