The rectangular rug has a dark yellow field with a black border. It has a zigzags along the long edge, and a thin white line inside the black border. There are five iterations of a design with a brown hourglass in the center with a white rectangle and two white triangles, with a black outline and tab-like extensions at either end. There are two designs with black pointed rectangles, end to end with a pointed end toward the center and a white diamond at the outer end between each of the above designs with white. There are small black tassels at the corners.
