The field is left entirely open, a plain expanse of undyed ivory ground marked only by fine vertical striations running its length. Fringe in a slightly deeper natural tone finishes both ends, and no border or figural motif interrupts the surface. A detail inset at lower right shows the close, irregular texture of the ground up close.

The field runs in narrow vertical stripes of ivory, olive-green, and taupe, with a fine thread of dark red interrupting the pattern at irregular intervals. One face shows a long shaggy pile in muted cream and green tones, while the reverse reveals a flatter, tightly ribbed surface in the same striped sequence, its diamond lattice pattern visible in the detail view. Both ends finish in loose, undyed fringe left uneven in length.

The field is organized in horizontal bands alternating olive-green rows of stylized rosettes in rust, ivory, and slate-blue with narrower striped bands of small lozenges in ochre and pale blue. A striated mauve-grey border frames the composition, punctuated by golden floral clusters at the corners and a linked-medallion motif in the corner cartouches. The overall palette runs through olive, rust, ochre, ivory, and dusty violet against the muted ground stripes.

The field is filled with an allover trellis lattice, small four-pointed star and rosette forms repeating in a dense diagonal grid across an ivory ground. Tones shift softly from pale gold to muted grey-green as the pattern catches the light, giving the surface a subtly shaded, almost watered appearance. A narrow twisted rope-like border in matching straw and grey tones frames the field on all sides.
