Village and tribal rugs usually have a rectilinear design. The large medallion of this rug is further divided into four lozenge-shaped forms.

 

A variety of palmettes and boteh motifs fill the orange background of the main field. An unusual pattern is repeated in the main field parallel to the main border.
