A wool pile with symmetric knots on a cotton foundation, in the style of Michel Basquiat. Basquiat’s influence is evident in the crowned, profile caricature head in one corner. The rest of the piece features a plain sand-colored expanse. These heads with floating crowns are a recurring motif in Basquiat’s work, often combined with abstract lines, animal figures, and obscure self-references.
