Pile carpet sample knotted in wool on white cotton with multiple shoots of white cotton weft, six rows of knots to the inch, 7 to 7.5 knots to the inch. Includes two large five-petalled flowers on a double stem, with stiff leaves, off which a thinner stem seems to form a wide lattice with smaller flowers at the junctions (border and field patterns?). Colours are in shades of olive green, grey-blue, pink and pinky-brown with small amounts of orange and yellow on a stone colour ground.
