A wool pile of asymmetric knots on a cotton foundation. The sand-colored field features an allover pattern of lozenges, "dumbbells," and reserves, each uniformly adorned with small floral motifs. The ecru border displays square and rectangular petal palmettes, along with right-angled bent leaves, all characteristic of Joshegan design. The rug lacks a medallion, corners, and the colorful tessellation typically seen in the field.
