A wool pile of symmetrical knots on a cotton foundation. This boldly simplified version of a classic Malayer allover pattern features octagons and color samplers on rust stalks along the sides of the slate-grey field, with a central column of stars and a lozengoid medallion. The straw border is adorned with various fringed palmettes, and rust accents are scattered throughout.
