Islam's holiest site, the Kaaba in Mecca, is shown as the mihrab of this rug. The ocmposition of this rug is similar to Plate 28, but the Amu Daria in Plate 28 is abstracted into a form that resembles a peacock. This rug, not surprisingly, shows wear indicative of long-term use as a prayer rug at the center bottom end. There are two bright neon-green accents in the borders at the top half of the rug.
