A Wool pile in symmetric knots on a wool foundation. Ashiks, as always! The rust field is bordered by a slate and salmon X-pattern strapwork, with each reserve containing either a large ivory or dark slate ashik, or four smaller ones. The slate strapwork expands toward the ends of the field. The narrow border features reciprocal triangles in the field tones, and each end is finished with a striped plainweave.
