A wool pile of symmetric knots on a cotton foundation. An almost circular, twenty-four-lobed tangerine medallion with eight palmette pendants dominates the straw-bone field, accompanied by eight secondary leaf-and-rosette X motifs and additional curled, barbed leaves. A tangerine border features corner rosettes, palmettes, and cypress-tree projectiles. Possibly from Borlu in western Turkey.
