An open, undecorated field in pale ivory-beige is crossed by fine, evenly spaced dark brown horizontal stripes running edge to edge, with no border framing them. Fringe in the same dark brown appears at both top and bottom ends. An inset detail circle shows the close, ribbed texture of the surface at magnification.
Natal Mahogany
The surface shows a close basketweave pattern of thick twisted strands in muted olive and taupe, interspersed with a lighter straw-toned thread that traces a subtle diagonal rhythm across the field. A finished edge runs along the left side, formed by looping the strands back into the weave, while the inset detail highlights the tight, braided quality of the individual cords.

Warp: Chalk
The field presents a plain, undecorated surface composed of tightly aligned horizontal ridges in soft ivory, interrupted at regular intervals by narrower bands in bright white. The alternating tonal stripes create a subtle, banded rhythm across the whole surface, with no field motif, border, or corner device visible. A detail inset at lower right shows the interlacing of the ridges close up, revealing the slight variation in thickness and twist between the pale and white courses.

A close-up detail of an undyed field, its surface built from a repeating basket-like structure of thick ivory loops accented by small taupe stitches that appear at regular intervals across the whole expanse. A circular inset magnifies a section of this same pattern, revealing the texture more closely, and the plain woven edge is visible along the left and lower right margins. No border, motif, or inscription is discernible beyond this uniform grid-like surface.

The surface presents an open, basket-like grid of thick, twisted strands running in two directions, their natural variegation producing an irregular play of light and dark tones across the field. A detail inset at lower right isolates a single crossing point, showing the strands' loose twist and the small gaps left between them. The selvages along the edges show the strand ends turning back on themselves in a plain overcast finish.
