Drawn in a quasi-Caucasian manner, with a straw-bone field displaying a repeat of rust dual blob-like elements and similarly liquid lateral devices in pale blue. Pale blue border with reversing, nested botehs. Minor border with bitonal reciprocal keyholes. Caucasian Kuba influence, but a genuine sui generis rustic kellegi (long rug). Generally soft, lighter palette.
