Woven in the traditional slit-tapestry technique, the composition unfolds in stacked registers that alternate between stepped zigzag motifs and block-like geometric forms.

The upper and lower bands display dynamic, serrated patterns rendered in saturated crimson, turquoise, deep navy, olive green, ivory, charcoal, and bright pink. These energetic shapes create a lively visual cadence, while narrower intermediary stripes in red, indigo, brown, and teal introduce balance and subtle textural variation.

The compact square format enhances the graphic clarity of the design, allowing the interplay of strong color contrasts and angular motifs to take center stage. The palette blends jewel tones with earthy neutrals, reflecting the spontaneity and individuality typical of Persian tribal weaving traditions during the mid-20th century.

Striking and versatile, this kilim serves beautifully as an accent rug or decorative textile, bringing bold color, texture, and authentic Persian character to a variety of interior settings.
