A wool pile of symmetric knots on a cotton foundation. The heavily abrashed slate-grey field displays hundreds of tiny botehs arranged in reversing rows. A few botehs appear in darker tones, though without any intentional color organization. The wide trapezoidal meander border, set on a straw-putty ground, features double palmettes in each bay.
