A related example, attributed to the Shakak tribe in the area west of Lake Urmia, displays the same stepped, hooked cruciform motifs as the present rug, which Burns interprets as a representation of a pond turtle, (J.D. Burns, Antique Rugs of Kurdistan. A Historical Legacy of Woven Art, London 2002, no. 64).
