A wool pile of symmetrical knots on a wool foundation. The dark slate field features offset rows of typical Kurdish 'transparent' flowers, with animals, birds, and tribal figures interspersed, including a row of fauna across the top. The main Turkmen 'tegbent' border is complemented by an inner ecru stripe adorned with stars and tilted bars. A similar outer stripe has likely been removed.
