Formal flowering plants fill the space, and upper centre is the vase, blue, outlined in white and sitting on the dark blue stems.\n\nMain border: A curving and arching double meander in light blue (but v. light green along lower border and lower sides) intertwines with a pink stem, both bearing the same horned purple and yellow blossom on a dark blue ground.\nInner border: white ground, double meander - a green stem with yellow 5 petalled yellow/orange flowers and a dark blue stem outlined in red bearing blue buds.\nOuter border: light blue ground, a red meander bearing yellow 5-petalled flowers and red leaves."@en . "Old label:\n\nThis 17th century Persian vase carpet contains all the elements of the larger one displayed on the wall to the right, but in a more stylised form. The large, imaginary blossoms have been placed on the lines of three superimposed lattices, a white one, a dark one and a light blue one; stiff sprays of flowers have been placed in the spaces between the lines. A vase, after which this type of carpet is named, is in the centre. []"@en . . . "2021-02-10T00:00:00"^^ .
