Sardinian Carpet
The field is left open, given over entirely to a plain striated ground of narrow horizontal bands in charcoal, slate, and pale grey, each row broken by short vertical ticks of ivory that form a subtle basketweave-like rhythm across the surface. There is no border, no central medallion, and no figurative motif to speak of, only this steady tonal cadence repeating from top to bottom. An inset detail at the lower right magnifies a small section of the surface, showing the same alternating grey and cream elements at closer range.
