A wool pile of symmetrical knots on a cotton foundation. Here, the popular Herati variant prized by Malayer weavers is woven on a slate field. The pattern is a distant descendant of the Herati design, set within ecru, plain triangular corners. A squared meander surrounds reversing pyramidal, fingered palmettes on a straw-bone ground.
