A wool pile of symmetric knots on a cotton foundation, this particularly broad village kenare (runner) features a slate-brown field decorated with hexagonal ashiks alternating with heptagons (seven-sided polygons), supported by a semi-geometric millfleur scatter. Reversing fan palmette minors flank a major stripe with single and double V-shaped motifs. The palette is reduced.
