A Wool pile with symmetric knots on a wool foundation. The soft brown field, significantly abrashed, is notched at the sides, top, and bottom in darker browns, with a matching central dark lozenge. Four bold, nested ivory lozenges with loop-decorated edges dominate the composition. Stars appear within the lozenges and decorate the field. Additional stars adorn the cartouche chains in the narrow brown border. A bold, striking carpet in the simpler yet effective Kazak style, but much larger.
