It has white guard borders with a running water pattern, flanking a wide primary border of quatrefoils and square diagonally striped medallions. The rug appears to have been restored, with blanket stitching at the warp ends to prevent fraying. It has double overcast selvedge and natural wool warp fringe to each end. Unmarked.
