Thank you, can you direct me to a resource to learn more? The motifs on the border look like dollar signs to me and seemed a bit strange. Thank you for your reply, I am glad to know more about this rug.

There are some sites that you can go to :

http://sharafiandco.com/glossary/iran/zanjan/
http://www.oldcarpet.com/zanjan.htm
http://www.persiancarpet...uide_To_Zanjan_Rugs.htm

But one of the best books I think is still the Persian Carpet by Cecil Edwards
