It is very beautiful and exactly as the picture shows.  The pile is very rich looking as are the colors.  It looks like a very expensive rug.  My only criticism is, it has been on the floor 3 days and the fringed edges still don't lie flat.  They are curled up.  This may be from it being shipped rolled up.  Right now, it is a tripping hazard.  I have heavy books on it to flatten it and maybe in a few days this won't be an issue.
