    Looks like a variation of a Jaldar or Bokhara rug, but I can't find another like it.
    Is there another name for this? [​IMG]

    Bokhara rugs usually have rows of Turkmen style elephant foot 'gül' shapes. Jaldar mostly copies Bokhara.
    This one could be either Samarkand or Khotan. Both are important trade hubs on the Silk Road, which means they incorporate many international influences in their designs. The more delicate design on the rug shows influence from further east, different from the larger, heavier Turkmen influenced güls of Bokhara and Jaldar.
    Samarkand rugs are often classed as Khotan, but are generally bigger than Khotan rugs.
