A wool pile of symmetrical knots on a wool foundation. The teal-grey field features a vertically centered pattern of flattened, forked-leaf modules enclosing simple flowers, with open, eccentric arabesque cartouches at the sides. Cream accents, outlines, and vinery enhance the design. Rosettes and thick acanthus are arranged in floating chains along the sides, significantly flattened at the ends. The piece is densely woven with a resilient pile, representing an uncommon Garrus Bidjar design.
