A wool pile of symmetric knots on a wool foundation. The tall, flanking women bump heads against the border while the girl in blue between them gesticulates widely. Below a horse with only a saddlecloth gallops to the right. No rider, however. Ecru field and quasi-military garb for all the ladies. Red border with floating palmettes, double triangles and doubly serrated leaves. The narrow waists of the women are especially evident. No clue to the image is provided by an inscription.
