The fragment offered here is closely related to three fragments from the Mosque of Ali Paşa in Tokat, illustrated in Yetkin, Şerare, Early Caucasian Carpets in Turkey, Vol. I, London, 1978, pl. 11 and is possibly from the same carpet; compare for example the ‘fishbone’ spine of the dragon and the small cloudbands.
