A wool pile of symmetric knots on a cotton foundation. The warm rust-red madder field is quartered by straight lines emanating from a central dark blue, ragged, symmetrized palmette. The defined areas are filled with semi-geometric jagged leaves, thin linear arabesques, and nested lozenges. A dark blue strip-style main border presents rosettes alternating with doubly bent leaves. Both straw-ground minor borders feature reversing fan palmettes.
