The rug has a design similar to the khotan and Ningxia rugs. The design is of countryside with mountains in the distance with pagodas on top and rivers in the valley. There is a lovely depiction of a farmer walking across a bridge in the forefront. The scene is framed by a great border. The color scheme is wonderful and includes various shades of blue, tan, pink, and brown. The rug is ideal as an accent rug or even better as a wall tapestry. The design of the rug is very peaceful and relaxed, reminiscent of the Asian rock gardens.
