A wool pile of symmetric knots on a cotton foundation. The gray-blue field hosts an abstracted, formalized Herati-type allover design of open diamonds enclosing either rosettes or palmettes, right angle leaves, and other rosettes and primitive palmettes. Putty border with pyramidal or umbrella ragged palmettes. Generally light tonality, but with all design elements visible.
