Rectangular rug with curved sides, oriented vertically. The rug has a thick border around the edge with a repeating floral pattern. Inside the border, a thin line of small dots forms a rectangle. Inside this rectangle, a larger rectangular area contains a design with three roundels. Each roundel contains floral designs. The rug appears to be layered on top of another rug, with a slight gap visible on the right side. The image is in black and white. The title of the rug is "Saddle Rug with Floral Roundels".
