The palette is pomegranate, black, pink, celadon, and cream. Framing the field are seven borders, including a stylized herati primary border over black. Selvedges are overcast with protective strips sewn along the undersides, the rug finishing at each end with short, unbound wool warp fringe. It is unlabeled and has bright blue weft threads at the reverse.
