A wool pile of symmetric knots on a cotton foundation. The light-medium brown field shows offset columns of Herati design modules with especially prominent open diamonds and reduced sickle leave. Triples of daisy rosettes mark each main border corner, while soft petal palmettes and slanted leafy stems decorate the straw major border. An example of the infinite versatility of the Herati pattern.
