A wool pile of symmetric knots on a wool foundation. The desirably abrashed denim blue field shows two large and alert sheepdogs guarding a tripartite pole medallion of randomly hooked lozenges in red and light blue, each with roughly drawn rosettes. Smaller dogs and horned goats are scattered about. Strongly variegated green corners with large pheasants and small animals. Bottle green irregular triangle side borders. Moderate tribal weave. Naively idiosyncratic.
