A muted sage-green field is enclosed by slender columns with patterned shafts and stepped bases, supporting a scalloped mihrab outlined in coral, ivory, navy, and soft beige. Suspended from the center is a stylized hanging lamp, delicately rendered in blue, red, cream, and brown, with small pendant motifs descending beneath it. Floral sprays and leafy vines fill the spandrels and surrounding borders, while repeating rosettes, palmettes, and angular blossoms create a refined ornamental rhythm. The balanced symmetry, fine drawing, and restrained palette reflect the sophisticated decorative character associated with Sivas weaving. Its compact format and devotional composition give the rug a graceful architectural presence, allowing it to function as a distinctive decorative accent in both traditional and contemporary interiors, with subtle color, pattern, and historic regional character throughout.
