This village-made piece features a distinct composition of three central medallions flanked by four partial medallions on the sides.

The floral motif inside the primary medallions is a rare find; by subtly changing this pattern in the outer medallions, the weaver has successfully drawn the visual focus to the center of the rug.

Stylized birds are visible throughout the field, all framed by a checkered floral border in a diverse color palette.
