Beige/brown field with red, brown, and faded blue pile design elements

An open ivory field is overlaid with a continuous grid of soft grey-brown diamonds formed by intersecting lattice lines, their texture slightly raised and irregular against the smoother ground. No border frames the composition, letting the trellis pattern run to the edges, and a plain unadorned fringe finishes the lower end.

The field is arranged in horizontal bands of ivory ground alternating with solid dark brown stripes, each band filled with rows of small chevrons, diamonds, and V-shaped motifs in rust orange, gray, and black. Diamond-lattice registers of varying scale break the rhythm partway down, giving the composition a layered, striped effect rather than a single bordered field. Loose warp fringe is visible at the lower edge, and the palette throughout stays within ivory, gray, rust, and near-black tones.

The field is divided into nine vertical panels by narrow dark bands, each panel filled with a different small-scale diamond or checkerboard lattice worked in brown against an undyed ivory ground. There is no distinct border, the patterned panels running to the flat woven edges, which are finished with plain warp fringe at both ends. A single stray brown mark floats above the second panel from the left, breaking the otherwise strict repetition of the grid.

The field is left entirely open, a deep shag surface in undyed cream and pale gold with soft variegated tonal shifts across the pile. A narrow band of small dark brown rectangular marks runs along the top edge, the only patterned element, while long fringe finishes the top and bottom and a dark selvage edges the sides.
