Up next on name that tartan

Is anyone familiar with this tartan? Came up on a search for Elliott tartan, but clearly isn't. I have a feeling that the answer is 'Pakistani table cloth'

Gallicia tartan?

So it is! I humbly retract my sarcastic 'table cloth' quip. I'm not sure how I didn't come across the correct name in my researching

I'd say the only noticeable difference is that it's blue and black rather than authentic Gallaecia's two shades of blue. Of course, who knows if the actual thread count is correct, but I suspect that Pakistani weavers aren't all that particular as long as the general look is achieved.
