The field is left open, its surface animated only by a subtle watery movement of pile direction that catches the light in soft ripples across a muted olive-grey ground. A wide plain border in warmer beige surrounds it, framed by a fine flat band and finished with a narrow ivory selvage at each end. No ornament interrupts either zone, so the entire composition relies on tonal contrast and the shifting texture of the pile itself.
