A wool pile of symmetric knots on a cotton foundation. Fringed, layered triangular corners frame the light slate-grey field, which features a central pole of conjoint fringed diamonds. Rosettes, leaves, paired botehs, and smaller diamonds fill the tall lateral reserves. A continuous right-angle meander encloses triangular and pentagonal palmettes, with a reversing fan palmette minor border.
