In this segment, appraiser Peter Pap translates the date woven into this Caucasian Perepedil rug as reading "1308" in the Islamic lunar calendar. However, as an alert viewer e-mailed us to point out, the date actually reads "1307." Noting that the Islamic characters for 7 and 8 are very similar, Pap says that the mistake does not significantly affect his approximate translation to a corresponding year of 1892 in the Christian calendar.
