A wool pile with symmetric knots on a cotton foundation. A multi-petal rosette is embedded in a central diamond, supported by lateral lazy-petal palmettes. The soft umber field also features ragged palmettes, straight vinery, rosettes, and carnation-like flowers. The pale blue-grey main border displays a smoothly flowing sequence of oval petal palmettes, along with rosettes and lancet leaves. The oblique palmettes in the corners further enhance the effect.
