A wool pile of symmetric knots on a cotton foundation. The rare straw-colored field features a central column of connected lozenges, with the rest of the Herati elements—bent leaves, rosettes, and smaller diamonds—arranged along the sides. A bone-straw strip-style border frames the field, decorated with pyramidal palmettes on a faceted, broken meander.
