DescriptionOn a canvas of dark brown hand-woven (?) wool are vertical rhomboid figures centered with three or five crosses. They form three distinct rows---on side rows, designs are half rhomboids with four crosses each. Predominant colors are grey, hot pink, dark green, dark red, orange, bright blue, and yellow. A 5cm macramed area, ending in fringe, is at the hem area. Braids in hot pink and brown serve as ties.
