An unusual example with petal-form spandrels, one would expect to find a central medallion as is the usual format for carpets with embellished field corners. Instead, the central element is a small lozenge with opposing palmettes at both sides and the field is comprised of large split-leaf arabesques. The smaller scale of the border compared to the field creates a dramatic effect and allows the innovative field design to remain the central focus of the carpet.
