A wool pile with symmetric knots on a wool foundation. A dark brown, abrashed lion stands stalwartly facing right on the mauve field, with various abstract flowers scattered around. The paneled border features several styles of palmettes and niche-like motifs. While it may not be Qashghai, it is likely from the broader Fars region.
