A wool pile with asymmetric knots on a cotton foundation. The plain dark brown field features a resting yet alert lion sejant, facing right, with a luxurious mane, detailed in beige, black, red, and straw. The single polychrome 'clouds and rain' main border complements the design. The lion image is derived from a printed source, as no lions are native to Xinjiang Province. Its realistic depiction suggests it is not of Southwestern Persian origin.
