The pattern consists of alternating rows of orange leaf shapes pointing up and down, with blue lines running horizontally and vertically through the center of the leaves. The rug fills most of the image. A small orange date stamp in the bottom right corner reads "09/14/2001". The title of the piece is "Piece" and the artist is unknown.
