3 ft. 5 in. x 5 ft. 9 in.

A wool pile of symmetric knots on a cotton foundation. The sandy main border of pyramidal ragged palmettes and the two minor with suspended botehs, together frame the late grey field with a clever local version of the Herati pattern based on a column of fringed diamonds, with the ancillary Herati apparatus of rosettes and sharply bent leaves. Plain cream triangular corners.
