A wool pile of symmetric knots on a cotton foundation. The ruby-red field features a simplified Heriz-style pattern, highlighted by a partially serrated teal-blue hexagonal medallion with small escutcheon pendants and teal, flowing lateral brackets extending to full height. Zigzag lines connect the corner motifs. Abrashed borders with faceted trapezoidal meanders shelter spindly flowers, rosettes, and serrated leaves. The sharp spines edging the medallion and corners tie the elements together in the field.
