A wool pile of symmetrical knots on a cotton foundation. The light slate-grey field features a Malayer variant of the allover Herati design, with a central column of adjoint fringed lozenges, flanked by the usual bent leaves, rosettes, and palmettes. Plain straw corners create a stretched octagonal field. The straw-colored strip-style border is adorned with pyramidal palmettes on popsicle-like stalks.
