The field itself is densely populated with traditional Heriz motifs—angular palmettes, geometric flowers, and serrated leaves rendered in a sophisticated palette of ruby red, midnight navy, warm camel, coral pink, and touches of sky blue. The substantial border system frames the composition beautifully, with a main border featuring bold rosettes and geometric elements against a navy ground, complemented by multiple guard borders displaying intricate running patterns. The color harmony is exceptional, with the interplay between the rich crimsons, deep indigos, warm earth tones, and luminous ivory creating a dynamic yet balanced aesthetic that epitomizes the Heriz tradition.
