The medallion rests on a ruby field with ivory and slate blue spandrels. Populating the field and corners are arabesqued vines, flowers, palmettes and foliate motifs, elements that continue in the main border. Selvedges are overcast, the rug finishing at one end with a hand-finished kilim skirt, while the other end features wool warp fringe. It is unlabeled.
