A wool pile of symmetric knots is set on a cotton foundation. The pale slate-blue field features an allover pattern of various palmettes, short stems, and profile flowers, centered by a small, eight-lobed ragged medallion, and detailed in brick, straw, and ecru. The main border is a coral-colored, abrashed strip style with palmettes incorporating volutes and serrated, curved leaves, while teal minor accents complete the design.
