label: Description
content: Very incomplete and indistinct design based on geometric forms, in yellow-tan, red and green. No selvage present. The warp is yellow-tan wool, and the wefts are yellow-tan, red, and green wool. The weave throughout is a plain compound weft twill formed by the wefts passing over three warps and under one. The wefts are used two at a time, yellow-tan and green, and yellow-tan and red, but only one color appears on the face of the textile at one time.
