Repeating covered field in a phenomenal range of color botehs in staggered rows in alternating direction. Very unusual and unique dynamic for type and age! Colors and shades include: Navy blue, ivory, madder root red, cochineal red, sapphire blue, coffee brown, dusty pale saffron yellow, antique ivory, and more. Condition notes: Even wear across to knot heads with faint foundation showing through. Most of the original side cord selvages are intact or restored. Fully secured sides and ends.
