Fiziksel açıklama
Tapestry-woven woollen blanket in multiple colours, and with elaborate and complex geometric patterns. The pattern on the wool contains parallel lines of different widths, some containing images and others plain. The images that appear are geometric, made of a series of small triangles, squares, diamonds, etc. Though some of the images on the lines may be repeated once, the rest of the pattern is not identical. The bold colours used are black, blue, green, red, white and yellow.
