Sultanabad

A dark indigo field carries an allover scrolling vine lattice bearing large palmettes and serrated leaves rendered in shades of rust, ochre, and sage green. The main border on a soft terracotta ground repeats a diagonal lattice enclosing small rosettes, flanked by narrow guard stripes of stylized floral vining. Wear along the lower edge exposes the foundation, and the corners of the border resolve unevenly where the lattice pattern is truncated.

Swedish Flat Weave

An open, undecorated field in pale oatmeal is crossed at intervals by thin horizontal stripes alternating between ivory and soft pink, the lines running the full width of the piece. The borders are left plain, with the field's edges finished in a loose fringe at top and bottom. The detail inset shows the flat, ribbed surface up close, where the pink stripe appears as a single fine weft line against the neutral ground.
