It features a geometrical structure with approximately 15 regularly-spaced square panels and a deep olive green border, creating an elegant and tranquil appearance.

The quality of the wool is also noteworthy, as it is made from high-quality wool obtained from sheep raised in the clean air of the Iranian plateau. It has a natural luster, a soft texture, and excellent durability.
