A cream gold field carrying a lobed medallion in gold, sage and red, with a cusped pendant above and below it and sage green spandrels closing the field corners. Scrolling vines, palmettes and blossoms in sage, gold, coral and grey-blue spread across the ground. A broad brick red border of palmettes and leafy scrolls frames the field, backed on both sides by pale gold guards, so the red sits as a band between two cream zones. Cream fringe at both ends.
Hand-knotted in wool with silk. The red is placed as a ring rather than at the centre or at the outer edge: measured outward from the middle of the rug, it holds around one in twenty of the surface across the field, rises above one in five through the border band, then falls away again to the outermost edge. At 61×94cm this is a small mat, suited to a bedside, an entrance or a wall hanging.
