正如許多精美的馬來耶毯一樣，這條地毯在顏色和設計上很容易與薩洛克地毯相混淆。但是從它茜紅的色調，帶有“阿巴斯”風格的粉紅色玫瑰花飾來看，又顯然具有馬來耶毯的特點。該毯采用了哈馬丹地區的單緯織法，這使得地毯的結點更多，從而也更加松軟。在恢弘的中心葵圖案中，繪有重瓣的白色花朵，在深藍色的底色映襯下產生了強烈的對比，使得中心葵顯得更為大氣、莊重。各樣的花卉裝飾點綴著邊框和拱肩，優雅的阿拉伯式花瓣和棕櫚葉環繞四周，給人以一種低調、含蓄的視覺享受。華麗的色彩和精湛的編織手法，再加上高檔羊毛特有的光澤，此毯不愧為馬來耶毯中的精品。
As with many of the finest Malayers, this piece could easily be mistaken for a Sarouk in both its design and colouring, although the distinctive character of the madder shades is a characteristic feature of the Malayer origin. The monumental medallion in moss green, with its white central roundel holding a many-petalled blossom, dominates the composition; the saturated dark blue of field and border provides a rich contrast that additionally emphasizes the medallion. The drawing of the various floral ornaments of the field and corners provide more understated, subtle visual pleasures. The rug is, above all, extremely stylish, combining compositional panache, magnificent richness of colour and the superbly glossy wool of the origin in a way that is totally satisfying; a superb Malayer.
