The Sehna rugs

A very tightly woven rug of silky texture. (Old Sehnas have been found with 1,000 knots in one square inch.)

There is often a diamond-shaped central medallion on an ivory ground, with tiny flowers in soft tones of henna, peach and rose-brown.

The Herat motif is sometimes used, in very small scale; sometimes close rows of the pear motif. Tied with the Sehna knot.
