Initialed "SB"
A mustard-yellow ground carries a repeating grid of octagonal medallions formed from interlocking triangles in slate blue, dark brown, and cream, each centered with a small cream cross on a diamond of gold or blue. The wide dark brown border frames the field with a zigzag guard band on the sides and, at top and bottom, alternating rosette medallions and stylized tulip-and-leaf sprays in pink, pale blue, and olive green. The corners resolve cleanly where the side zigzags meet the floral end panels, and the fringe is left visible at both edges.
An open ivory field, subtly striated, is scattered with small cross-shaped medallions in rust, brown, and mustard, interspersed with tiny diamond accents in the same palette. The design repeats in a loose grid across the field, framed by a mustard-yellow band and an outer brown border stepped in a zigzag pattern. A small woven initial or mark appears in the lower left corner of the field.
A pale yellow field is divided by thin gray lines into five horizontal registers, each containing a repeated motif of two hourglass-shaped brackets in brown and taupe flanking a small green stepped diamond with pink accents, alternating with solid golden-brown rectangles and pairs of small striped tabs. A plain golden-tan border frames the composition on all sides, unbroken by corner devices.
