This colorful rug features a large stylized image of a man fighting a grey lion-like figure. Multicolored butterflies fly around them with spade-shaped smaller motifs (maybe flowers) filling out the negative space in the center of the rug and also the main border.
Colorful botehs form the secondary border, classic to this sort of rug.
