- Imagen de la portada: Anatolian saf fragment (detail), Ushak region (?), early 16th century, 3.29 x 1.28m. The design is worked at right angles to the warps. In addition to the elegant simplicity of its drawing and the saturated richness of its restricted palette, the carpet is notable for the diamond-shaped lattice of "lazy-lines" that covers the red-ground fields of the niches and the deep blue spandrels, imparting a further textural variation to the otherwise flat surface. Although only half or less of the full width of the blue and gold main border remains, one can nevertheless see that it was once a spectacular rendition of the reciprocal trefoil design.
- Imagen de la portada: Fragmento de alfombra "saf" de Anatolia (detalle), región de Ushak (?), principios del siglo XVI, 3,29 x 1,28 m. El diseño está ejecutado en ángulo recto respecto a los hilos de la urdimbre. Además de la elegante sencillez de su dibujo y la rica saturación de su paleta cromática restringida, la alfombra destaca por la retícula en forma de rombo —formada por las llamadas "líneas de descanso" ("lazy-lines")— que cubre tanto los campos de fondo rojo de los nichos como las enjutas de color azul intenso, aportando una variación textural adicional a una superficie que, de otro modo, resultaría plana. Aunque solo se conserva la mitad (o menos) de la anchura original de la cenefa principal —azul y dorada—, es posible apreciar que en su día fue una representación espectacular del diseño recíproco de tréboles.
