A wool pile of symmetric knots on a cotton foundation. Snaking cloud bands, palmettes, and rosettes, outlined in dark brown, stand out against unoutlined similar motifs on the light slate blue field, forming an allover close pattern. The minor borders feature cloud bands with dark outlining, while the major border has a powder stripe with palmettes. The abrash runs vertically instead of the usual horizontal.
