A wool pile of symmetric knots on a cotton foundation features a slate-brown field showcasing a uniquely Malayer version of the Herati design, with a central column of conjoint fringed lozenges flanked by sharply bent leaves, rosettes, diamonds, quincunxes, and botehs. The corners are plain in sand-straw, while the strip-style straw border features a trapezoidal meander with elliptical and triangular pendants.
