A wool pile in Tibetan knots. Tabby weave textile backing. Simplicity itself. The field is a chessboard in tangerine and straw while the single border is patterned with a T-fret on medium blue. The border corners are turned with an arrowhead motif. Tibetan knots include virtually every kind of knot imaginable and elaborations thereof as well. The small, square format is unusual for Tibetans as they are often in a three by five or so size.
