Wool weft-faced tapestry weave, running lengthwise. The typical weaving technique has been rotated 90 degrees, creating a simple, large ashik tessellation in brown, green, old gold, and rust, with hints of blue. Abrash runs vertically throughout the piece. From a distance, a dark-against-light zig-zag overpattern becomes apparent.
