A wool pile of symmetric knots on a cotton foundation, the light late field features alternating rows of offset, floriate botehs in straw-sand and rust, creating a textile-repeating pattern. The strip-style minor border showcases a rust and pale blue version of the 'tangerine flower' design. Two reversing fan palmette minors appear on a dark brown background.
