A beautiful Mouse Pad in the form of a Miniature Carpet!

The Star Ushak is named for the large star-shaped medallions, which alternate with smaller diamond-shaped units. The two elements are arranged, alternating in staggered rows, in the fashion of the earlier Holbein and Lotto rugs. But the decorative vocabulary of the Ushaks--the medallion shapes, the arabesque forms filling them, and the vines and small-scale floral elements filling the interstices between the medallions--marks a total departure from the tradition represented by the Holbeins, Lottos, and their predecessors. The Ottomans who sacked Tabriz in 1514 often have attributed this abrupt change to Persian influence resulting from the capture of Safavid artists. It recently has been suggested that, although Persian influences did play a role, the transformation actually took place in the third quarter of the fifteenth century under court direction.
