A wool pile with symmetric knots and metal thread brocading on a cotton foundation. The raised pile design features a lion mask surrounded by framing flowers on stems, set against a flatwoven ground of brocaded gold metal thread, crafted in the "souf" technique. Red and straw accents add contrast, and the narrow border is decorated with candy-cane stripes.
