A wool pile of asymmetric knots on a cotton foundation. Total unbalanced asymmetry reigns on the light beige-tan field, featuring a wildly dynamic arabesquerie in goldenrod that organizes ragged palmettes, irregularly bent leaves, and assorted smaller palmettes and pendant paddles, accented in sienna, pale blue, medium blue, and ecru. A blue and cream T-fret defines the middle border. The drawing is uninhibited and somewhat Heriz-like.
