A wool and cotton pile of asymmetric knots on a wool foundation forms this tribal scatter, featuring a soft coral field with two oppositely facing rams with white bodies and enormous horns, adorned with subsidiary flowers. These rams are positioned on a stepped field, with dark blue corners enclosing ecru and red medallions. A sky-blue, flattened octagonal medallion occupies the center, while the main rose-colored border is decorated with reversing fan palmettes.
