A large, rectangular Azerbaijani carpet is vertically displayed against a dark background, likely in a museum or gallery setting within Baku City, Azerbaijan. The carpet features a complex design with multiple borders. The prominent main border is dark olive-green, adorned with repeating stylized birds, flowers, and foliage, framed by thinner decorative bands. The central light-yellow field of the carpet is divided into three pictorial sections by arched motifs. The left section depicts a full-length male figure, facing right, wearing a long yellow tunic, a lighter blue garment underneath, green pants, and a dark cap. He holds a red object, possibly an apple or flower, in his right hand. This figure is set against a green landscape featuring trees, hills, and a river. The right section portrays a full-length female figure, facing left, dressed in a dark green top, a long patterned orange-brown skirt, and a head covering over a dark headpiece. She stands in a similar green landscape with trees and distant hills. The central section features a prominent, ornate vase or urn filled with an abundance of colorful flowers and green foliage, including red, blue, and yellow blossoms. On either side of the vase, two stylized brown deer or gazelles are depicted, facing inwards. Above the vase, the central panel is filled with an elaborate symmetrical floral design, incorporating large blue and orange paisley motifs (butas) surrounded by various smaller flowers and birds. The carpet's bottom edge exhibits white fringes, and its top and side edges are contained within a dark frame.
