This piece features a wool pile of asymmetric knots on a cotton foundation. The field combines areas of seafoam with smaller sections of deep celadon, incorporating nuances borrowed from classic Persian "vase carpets," including sketchy irises, ragged palmettes and rosettes, and fragmented large lattices. The two-level strapwork border also draws on Persian antecedents.
