A wool pile of symmetric knots on a cotton foundation. The field abrashes in shades of dusty rose, and displays three complete, offset columns of a closely set Herati allover pattern, with two additional partials at the field sides. Rosettes shelter within the open diamonds and focus swirling sickle leaves. The light blue to blue-grey border features a smooth trapezoidal mender and attached palmettes.
