A wool pile of symmetric knots on a cotton foundation. On a richly abrashed coral field, a palmette-and-stem conforming frame encloses a colorful rooster with comb, wattle, and a luxuriant polychrome tail, perched on a palmette nest. A very narrow near-black border of lozenges completes the composition.
