A soft turquoise field carrying a dense all-over repeat of small polychrome star-flowers in rose, gold, cream, dark green and indigo, set in diagonal alignments that read as a diamond lattice. Larger rosettes mark the crossings and smaller ones fill the spaces between. Narrow multi-band borders of hooked diamonds, star rosettes and running triangles in rose, indigo and cream frame the field down both sides, closing at each end with a diamond-meander band. Cream fringe at both ends.
Hand-knotted in wool at a fine gauge. The lattice is worth looking at closely, because it has not actually been drawn — the diamonds are made entirely by the alignment of separate flowers. At 98×303cm this is a wide runner, noticeably broader than a standard one, suited to a generous corridor or a long hallway. A mid-toned turquoise ground is reasonably forgiving of everyday marks, though the cream in the rosettes will show wear first.
