The field is given over entirely to a fine, irregular vertical striation, black threads breaking and pooling against a pale, undyed ground so that the surface reads almost like static or scratched linen. No border frames the composition; the pattern runs edge to edge without a defined field or medallion. A close-up inset at the lower right isolates a small section, showing the same crosshatched, unevenly spaced striping at larger scale, revealing subtle horizontal breaks that interrupt the vertical rhythm.

The surface presents an unbroken expanse of pale ivory, its plain ground animated only by the fine, regular ribbing of the weave running vertically across the field. No border, medallion, or figural motif interrupts the surface, leaving it entirely open. A circular inset in the lower right offers a close-up view of the same texture, showing the crossing threads in tighter focus against the softer blur of the surrounding field.

The surface presents an unbroken expanse of pale ivory, its fine ribbed texture running in even vertical lines across the whole field. A circular inset in the lower right offers a close-up view, revealing the tight, uniform interlacing of the ribs at greater scale, while the surrounding ground remains open and undecorated, without motif or border.

Broad bands of solid black alternate with wider bands of a small-scale checkerboard pattern in pale grey and ivory. Within these patterned bands, tiny blocks of grey and white interlock in a tight, regular grid, giving a textured, basket-like appearance against the flat black stripes. A magnified inset at lower right shows the transition between the plain dark ground and the checkered band in close detail, revealing the fine, even structure of the surface.

The surface is organized in broad horizontal bands of undyed beige alternating with narrower dark charcoal stripes, each division marked by a thin cream line. Within the dark bands a fine checkered pattern of small squares appears, while the beige fields show a subtler variation of tone from the interplay of horizontal and vertical threads. A detail inset at lower right magnifies the texture, revealing the close, even structure of the woven bands where they meet.

The surface is organized in flat horizontal bands: broad fields of pale grey-blue alternate with narrower stripes of dense black patterned with small light ticks, each separated by a thin ivory line. A circular inset at lower right magnifies the weave, revealing the tight interlacing of the striped bands against the plain grey ground. The overall effect is graphic and orderly, built entirely from repeated straight stripes rather than any curvilinear or figural motif.

The surface presents a close, even lattice of pale gray forming a small-scale checkerboard texture, interrupted at intervals by solid black bands that run the full width. A detail inset at lower right magnifies the transition between the patterned ground and one of these dark stripes, revealing how the tight grid gives way to a smooth, unbroken band before resuming. The overall effect is a rhythmic alternation of textured gray and flat black, arranged in horizontal registers.

The field is a pale straw ground overlaid with a repeating diamond lattice formed of red and green vinework, each compartment holding small rosettes and palmettes in soft blue, rose, and ivory. Scattered star-form medallions in muted blue and cream punctuate the all-over pattern at intervals. The main border, a rust-red ground with dense floral scrollwork, is framed by narrower guard stripes in cream and green.

An ivory ground carries a dense all-over composition of slender flowering trees, birds, and scattered blossoms in rose, blue, green, and gold, with small cypress-like plants marking each corner and a bouquet-filled medallion at the center. The main border, a soft brick-red ground, is filled with a repeating rosette and vine pattern, framed by narrow guard stripes of dark blue and cream with small floral devices.

An open, saturated apricot-gold field is dominated by a scalloped medallion filled with dense floral scrollwork in cream, ochre and blue, flanked above and below by matching pendants that taper toward the field's pointed ends. The corners hold quarter-medallion spandrels echoing the same vinery, and a wide dark navy border of interlaced palmettes and blossoms encloses the composition, framed by narrower guard stripes of small repeating florets on cream and gold grounds.
