A large angular medallion dominates the field, filled with layered floral forms, serrated leaves, geometric palmettes, and radiating motifs that create strong visual structure. The surrounding red field is densely decorated with stylized blossoms, branching vines, and angular botanical devices characteristic of Heriz weaving. Ivory corner spandrels introduce contrast and are filled with scrolling motifs and sharply drawn floral elements. A broad navy border frames the composition with repeating rosettes, palmettes, and connected vines, accompanied by several narrow guard borders that add depth and definition. The powerful geometry, saturated palette, and balanced symmetry give the carpet a commanding architectural presence, while the lively floral drawing brings warmth and movement to the overall design.
