A yalameh Carpet

I found a carpet in a thrift shop and am confused whether it is worth it... I can tell it is a Yalameh but how old is it there are two dates written and I want to justify the price of it

One inscription (second photo from the left) may be a name or a geographic location. It's not a date. The other is AH1386, approximately AD1970. So it's not an antique, just a nice vintage rug. We don't permit discussion of value here. Suffice it to say it's not going to provide enough to live on in your old age if you sell it.

I do think it's very attractive. What are the dimensions?
