A wool pile of symmetric knots on a cotton foundation. The light blue-grey field features a long central pole of linked, fringed lozenges, flanked by Herati-style bent leaves, botehs, rosettes, and palmettes forming the popular pattern. The strip-style straw border displays two types of ragged, pyramidal palmettes on a bitonal, broken meander.
