Wool pattern wefts in sumak technique on a wool foundation. The relatively narrow ecru fields both display a four-armed cross pattern with corner quarter-octogram medallions. A red border shows elibelinde motifs in ecru, straw, green, light blue, navy, and tangerine. The plainweave backs and bridge are striped, and the closure tabs remain intact in similar colors.
