I tend to doubt that this piece is "embroidered". I suspect that it is Sumac

The Sumac weave usually involves passing obliquely over four threads, back under two and returning obliquely to form a small herringbone pattern. (See diagram.) After this, a weft thread is passed and may be beaten level. Short lengths of wool hang loose in the back. This technique can produce the knotted carpet design.
