Cotton, Bleached Hemp & Nettle

The surface presents an open, basket-like grid formed by pale, bleached strands crossing warm tan and honey-toned fibers in a regular checkerboard rhythm. Faint horizontal bands interrupt the pattern where the tone shifts slightly darker, suggesting variation across the length. A magnified detail circle in the lower right isolates the weave structure, showing the crossing threads and small gaps between them, while one selvage edge shows a looped, scalloped finish along its length.

Cotton, Bleached Hemp & Nettle

The surface presents an open, basket-like grid where pale, undyed strands cross a coarser, tan-toned thread, producing a subtle checkered rhythm across the field. No border or figural motif appears; the composition is left entirely to the texture of the weave itself, with a scalloped edge finishing one side. A close-up inset at lower right isolates the interlacing pattern, showing the alternating thickness and twist of the strands in sharper detail.

Tibetan Wool & Goat Hair

The field is left entirely open, an unbroken expanse of pale ivory that shows soft variations of tone across its surface. It is framed by a wide border of concentric stepped lines in a warm taupe-brown, each band offset slightly further from the next to create a nested, terraced effect. At each corner the stepped lines break into small stair-like diagonal notches, echoing the border's rhythm in miniature.
