A wool pile of symmetric knots on a cotton foundation. The brownish-coral field displays three columns of modules, each containing quadruple-barbed coiled volutes in shades of near-black, straw, camel, and palest blue. Each module is centered by a rosette, with quartered small medallions as the minor elements. The brick-colored strip-style main border features palmettes, while the flanking powder-colored minors showcase banded profile palmettes and maple leaves.
