The field is composed entirely of horizontal bands in varying widths, running rust, pink, ochre, sage green, and deep brown, each streaked with irregular flecks of contrasting color that give the stripes a speckled, uneven texture. Two or three bands interrupt the striping with small scattered devices - hooked diamonds, x-marks, and simple pictographic figures worked in cream and pale rose against the darker ground. There is no distinct border; the composition runs edge to edge with loose warp fringe left plain at both ends.

Multi-colored stripes including red, light green, black and ochre.

Color: Brown, dark brown, cream

The field is covered edge to edge in an irregular checkerboard of small offset blocks, their staggered alignment giving the grid a slightly shifting, hand-drawn rhythm rather than a rigid repeat. No border frames the pattern; the checks run directly to the selvages, with plain warp fringe left loose at both ends. The pile has a soft, uneven sheared surface that catches light differently across the light and dark squares, emphasizing the play of tone over any linear design.

A field of undyed ivory pile is left almost entirely open, broken only by a thin dark outline tracing a rectangle just inside the edges. Small crossbar marks project outward at each corner, and a diagonal line angles inward from the upper corners toward the center, interrupting the otherwise plain border. The overall palette is a soft cream ground against a single charcoal line.

The field is left entirely open, a soft ivory-white surface animated only by the texture of its own construction, with faint striations running horizontally across its length. A narrow self-toned band frames the edge, barely distinguishable from the ground except for a subtle shift in the direction of the surface texture. The detail view reveals a close, granular interplay of pale cream and grey threads forming a faint, irregular lattice pattern across the surface.

100% Cotton

The field is worked entirely in a soft ivory tone, its pattern raised through subtle textural contrast rather than color. Rows of small diamond lattices, each centered with a four-petaled motif, repeat evenly across the surface, framed by a plain border of the same hue. The detail view shows the diamonds formed by a finer, tightly woven ground against the looser open weave of the diamond interiors, giving the design a quiet, tonal shimmer.

A square cushion with a plain ivory ground bordered by a narrow framing line, its face appliquéd with a fan-shaped arrangement of pentagonal and hexagonal segments in graduated tones of taupe, beige, and warm gray. Each segment is joined with visible blanket stitching in cream thread, radiating outward from the lower edge like an opening fan. The reverse and edges are finished in the same ivory ground fabric with a plain woven trim.

An open ivory field is animated by five vertical stems, each rendered in dark brown outline with small feathery leaves in coral, teal, and ochre branching along their length. The stems terminate in stacked diamond and lozenge medallions, the central one enlarged near the lower edge, while a narrow multicolored striped band edges the sides and both ends finish in loose warp fringe.

The field is left largely borderless, given over to a loose abstract composition of irregular blocks, chevrons, and zigzag bands in ivory, salmon-pink, and dark brown. Forms shift in scale across the surface, from tight checkerboard passages near the top to broader freehand shapes below, with no symmetrical repeat evident. The ends finish in plain warp fringe, and the ivory ground shows through in patches between the larger brown masses.

The field is composed entirely of horizontal bands in a mottled grey ground, crossed at intervals by narrow stripes carrying small repeating motifs in rust, ochre, and cream. Some bands are plain twists of orange and gold, while others carry fine geometric flecks or diamond forms picked out in ivory. There is no border framing the composition; the striping runs edge to edge, finishing in a loose, undyed fringe at both ends.
