A wool pile of symmetric knots on a cotton foundation. The rust-red lozenge lattice, adorned with drooping leaves, features quatrefoil stars at the apices, though not entirely symmetrically, as the variations are clearly visible. The verticals appear to move closer and farther apart, yet the pattern remains intact, with the motifs never cut off by the edges or ends. There are no borders, allowing for adjustable dimensions. The color palette is narrow, with a near-black ground, red lattice, and ecru accents throughout.
