A wool pile of symmetric knots on a cotton foundation. This ever-popular village Malayer design features octagons, squares, bent leaves, stars, and small chessboards, all set against a slate-blue ground. The narrow ecru main border showcases a trapezoidal ribbon meander supporting reversing fan palmettes. Rust details accentuate the field. An attractive example of a particularly popular type.
