A wool pile of symmetric knots rests on a wool foundation. A confused and abstract cream lion, nearly entirely covered with small crosshatches, is positioned amidst a field of peacocks and other birds, with four lions in the corners, each bearing human faces, all set against a red ground. A classic cream border with a slanted leaf meander surrounds rosettes.
