The field is rendered in a striking French blue, setting a vivid and harmonious backdrop for two large baby blue medallions that anchor the composition with a sense of balance and grandeur.

Scattered throughout the field are whimsical animal motifs, a charming and culturally rich detail that adds storytelling depth and character to the piece. The entire design is elegantly framed by a lively border woven in bright blue, red, yellow, and brown—a joyful contrast that enhances the visual rhythm of the rug.
