The quadrilaterally symmetrical pattern of this textile features an ogival lattice structure is composed of a beaded bands festooned laterally with comma shaped petals that curve around a bead. The lattice defines pointed oval lozenges that alternate in offset rows. Each lozenge contains two pair of fantastic animals: in one row, blue makaras; and in the alternating row, yellow yalis.
The lampas has a foundation weave of satin (structure to be determined) in brilliant red, and the motifs are rendered in supplementary wefts (1S2 twill) of yellow, white, and blue.
