A wool pile of symmetric knots on a cotton foundation. The slate field features bent leaves nearly joined by rosettes to form cartouches around a central column of fringed diamonds. Rosettes and a few tiny botehs float within the field. The corners are small and straw-colored, with a straw main border adorned with geometric flowers and finger-fringed Maya pyramid palmettes. Chocolate accents enhance the border system.
