THERE IS A NEAT INTERESTING MYSTERY TO THIS RUG! We went for this rug since it has many of the colors we have decorated our living room with. Also with the pad we purchased it is soft and comfortable to walk on and even to sit on.   BUT!!! THE MYSTERY IS- what looks like all abstract design are in fact many images of different things. We have found fish, birds, dogs, cats, crabs, faces and other things that you can see if you focus on the artwork designed into this rug. At a casual glance it just looks decorative but at close observation there are tons of subtle artful images in the rug. My wife and I were just having a blast finding the hidden treasures in the artwork of this. Who would have thought? You will love this rug.
