A wool pile of symmetric knots on a cotton foundation. A visual pair to rug #20915. Woven with a short warp. On a red ground, four ecru, sword-bearing lions converge pairwise around a peculiar stepped, colorfully striped central ornament balanced on a sphere. Small flowers are scattered throughout. A near-black main border with squared-off S-scrolls is flanked by black-and-white reciprocal pyramid minors.
