This is a beautiful rug.  The picture depicts the true rich colors in this rug.   I've received compliments so obviously it looks great!   One reviewer said,  " there are dark knots that look like little black dots all over the red parts of the rug".  Because of this review I was hesitant to buy this rug but I went ahead and purchased it.  The little black dots he's talking about are very subtle, not all over the rug, and go with the hand woven look.   I'm very happy with this purchase and think the rug is beautiful.
