A flatwoven surface built of horizontal bands in alternating tones of slate blue and mottled black-and-white, each row crossed by pale weft threads that create a ribbed, basket-like texture. A detail inset at lower right magnifies the weave, revealing the twisted, uneven strands and open interstices of the construction. The edges show loosely finished loops rather than a bound border, leaving the structure visibly exposed.

The surface is composed of horizontal bundled strands laid in tight, even rows, secured by a fine crosshatched binding thread that creates a subtle basketweave texture. Tones shift gently along the length from pale straw to warmer tan, with occasional darker striations running lengthwise through the strands. The edges show a scalloped, looping finish where the binding wraps around each row, and the detail inset reveals the diagonal lattice structure holding the strands in place.

An open, natural-toned ground of horizontal straw-like strands is overlaid with a loose net grid, against which dense black looped clusters form a repeating pattern of stacked diamond and rectangular shapes down the center. Small isolated black dots punctuate the field at the edges, and the corners finish in curled black loop tabs. An inset detail at lower right shows the close texture of the black tufted knots against the pale, straw-colored wefts.

A sample of coarse, open-weave construction in warm straw and tan tones, with looped, braid-like clusters forming a loose diamond lattice across the surface. The plain ground shows a visible grid understructure between the raised motifs, and a circular inset at lower right offers a magnified view of the twisted, fibrous texture and knotting.

The ground shows an open basketweave of natural fibers laid diagonally, with three zigzag lines running from lower left to upper right in ivory, slate blue, and black. A circular inset magnifies the surface, revealing the interlaced strands and the twisted yarn of the blue chevron against the woven base. The zigzags are evenly spaced and unbordered, floating freely across the textured field.

A tan ground of tightly plaited, natural fibre is overlaid with a diagonal lattice worked in a thick, twisted cream cord that forms a wandering zigzag diamond pattern across the surface. The braided edge is finished with a scalloped, knotted border in the same cream tone, giving the perimeter a beaded, textured line. A detail inset shows the interlacing structure at close range, where the cream cord loops through the coarser plaited strands.
80% Cattail, 20% Cotton
An open, basket-like weave in pale straw and sand tones, with a plain crosshatched ground interrupted by scattered clusters of thicker, twisted knots that form a loose, irregular scattered pattern across the surface. The border is left raw, with the transverse threads finishing in small looped fringes along the edges. A detail inset at lower right shows the individual knots more closely, revealing their coiled, fibrous texture against the flatter woven ground.

The surface is composed of horizontal bands in varying widths, moving from deep brown at the top through a soft blush pink interrupted by a single rose-red stripe, then down to ivory and pale tan tones near the base. A circular inset image shows a close-up of the plaited structure, revealing rounded, ribbed strands interlocked in a scalloped, basket-like pattern. The edges display twisted fringe finishing where the horizontal bands terminate.
80% Cattail, 20% Cotton
The surface is composed of tightly gridded horizontal bands, each formed by flattened, straw-like strands woven across a fine crosshatched lattice. The tonal range moves subtly between pale ivory and warm tan, with the two visible sections offset slightly to reveal a faint seam down the center. A circular detail shows the individual strands twisting and overlapping unevenly, catching light differently along their lengths.
An ivory ground is covered by an all-over lattice of stepped, cross-shaped medallions in muted slate blue, dusty pink, ochre, and dark brown, each cross set within a diamond outline and repeated in staggered rows across the field. A narrow guard stripe of small stepped triangles frames the composition, with plain end borders in blue-gray, pink, and cream at top and bottom; the selvages show a fine reciprocal notch pattern in matching tones.
