This is a complex and rich carpet featuring
a single central medallion with a shou (long
life) symbol surrounded by five fu (bats) which
are the symbol of happiness. Complex lotus vines
grace both sides of the medallion. The very
interesting corner designs are actually butterflies
woven into a geometric shape. The border is
a complex design using flyflots which symbolize
the sun. Cotton warp and weft, asymmetrical
woollen knots in a very good condition.
