A Wool pile with symmetric knots on a cotton foundation. The rust-buff field is elaborately abrash and features three floating ivory pendant medallions, each outlined with broken lozenge-shaped cartouches. Nearly encircling each medallion is a floral wreath. Similar side and corner fractional medallions are accented with rust-brown. The narrow main border showcases a geometric meander with equally geometric flowers. The weave is medium, and the carpet is in good condition. A narrow gallery carpet.
