A wool pile of asymmetric knots on a cotton foundation. The near-black border displays a thick, looping ivory-fringed meander characteristic of the productions of the town of Jozan in the Sarouk orbit. The near-black field presents an ivory cruciform medallion with cypress-tree vertical finials. Floral sprays symmetrically fill the surrounding reserves.
