The field is filled edge to edge with a small-scale checkerboard pattern, alternating squares of mustard yellow, olive gold, and pale ivory, creating a subtle shimmer across the surface. There is no distinct border to separate the field from the outer edge, and the pattern runs uninterrupted to the fringed selvages at top and bottom. A small woven inscription in yellow thread appears in the lower right corner of the field.
The field is organized into a strict grid of rectangular compartments, each enclosing a stepped, key-like fretwork motif rendered in taupe-grey against an ivory ground. The repeating panels alternate in tonal weight, some outlined heavily in grey, others left paler, giving a subtle checkerboard rhythm across the surface. There is no separate border; the compartmented field runs edge to edge, with the geometric lattice interrupted only by the outer selvage line.
The field is organized into a grid of rectangular compartments, each rendered in a distinct texture and directional pile stroke, ranging from tight nubby stipples to fine horizontal and vertical striations. A narrow ivory ground with thin banded stripes frames the composition, and the whole surface is held within a monochromatic range of golden yellows, ochres, and olive tones. Fringed ends left plain complete the piece, with no border medallion or figural motif interrupting the checkerboard arrangement.

The field carries an all-over lattice of pointed, leaf-shaped medallions in pale sage green outlined against an ivory ground, with small four-petaled florets in soft gold marking each intersection. A plain sage border of even width frames the composition on all sides, echoing the field's dominant tone without additional ornament. The pattern repeats with consistent regularity across the surface, giving the design a quiet, geometric rhythm.

An overall lattice of tapering, leaf-like ovals swirls diagonally across an ivory ground, each pointed lobe rendered in alternating tones of sage green, soft blue, and warm rust. Between the leaves run undulating bands of taupe and olive brown, some overlaid with fine striped patterning in muted blue and cream. The composition repeats in vertical columns, giving the surface a rhythmic, wave-like movement from top to bottom.
The field is built entirely of offset, brick-like rectangular blocks in varied tones of gold, ochre, straw, and ivory, creating a subtle running-bond pattern without a distinct border. A narrow banded selvage of alternating cream and brown checks frames the top and bottom edges, finishing in plain warp fringe. The palette shifts gradually from warmer browns at the top to lighter, cooler creams through the center before returning to deeper gold tones near the base.
The field is a monochrome expanse of pale ivory and warm sand, structured by an interlocking pattern of large triangular and diamond segments defined through directional pile striations rather than color. Each faceted shape catches light differently depending on the angle of its ridged texture, producing a subtle plaid-like geometry across the surface. A narrow plain band frames the composition, left free of any secondary border ornament.
An ivory field is scattered with short, offset dashes of slate blue arranged in staggered diagonal rows, each pale ground panel showing a faint wavy sheen from a subtle low-relief lattice pattern beneath. A narrow plain taupe border frames the composition without additional ornament. The overall effect is quiet and rhythmic, with no central medallion or corner motifs, just the repeating dash pattern floating across the open ground.
An unbordered field of ivory tone covered edge to edge with an interlocking network of irregular polygons, each panel filled with fine directional striations running at a different angle than its neighbors. The shifting diagonals create a faceted, fractured surface pattern with no central medallion or corner motifs, the whole composition reading as a single continuous texture rather than a bordered design.
Concentric square panels nest within a broad ivory ground, each frame edged in tan and topped or bottomed with a band of zigzagging chevron lines in rust, slate blue, pale blue, and charcoal. The innermost square repeats the chevron motif on both its upper and lower edges, echoing the wide chevron bands that run along the top and bottom of the outer border. The palette stays consistent throughout, with the wavy multicolor stripes providing the only patterning against the otherwise plain cream fields.
