    Can anyone tell me about this old carpet/rug I bought at a estate sale last week end?
    It's about 5' long
    It looks like it has N-A in 1 edge in english letters - American/English made?
    Thanks!

    More like Caucasian tribal or Persian or something; I'm not expert enough to know where it's from, but it's not western although it was made for the Western market most likely.

    Common Bokhara rug.......small size...likely Pakistan with that overly large knotted fringe.

    I'm with komo. Bokhara style, but made in Pakistan or India. Original Bokharas come from Uzbekistan in Central Asia.
    The letters are not English, but Latin script. Latin script is used for languages in a large part of the world. And sometimes used for codes in some regions that commonly use another script. India uses more Latin script than Pakistan, so it could be India.
