Hearth Rug
Hearth rug, Yomud type. A white field sewn with small stars (?) ('checkerboard') contains a badly designed hexagonal medallion, which in turn contains ten octagon shapes in various colors. The hearth field is enclosed by a reciprocal sawtooth band in three shades. Three borders, the main one made up of geometric single flowers divided by three triangles laid end to end. Ends-narrow web with loose warp threads. Sides-over cast with different colored yarns. Ghiordes knot.
