A wool pile of symmetric knots on a cotton foundation features a near-black field with a central column of four cartouches, two beige and two near-black, each displaying similar bust-length male figures adorned with flowers. The dense field is filled with rosettes, leaf sprays, and leafy stems. Small imbricated corners frame the design, while a brownish-gold border showcases stylized bouquets.
