Source catalog description

This description refers to material held by Smithsonian National Museum of African American History and Culture. Visual details below describe the original material.

This is a rectangular rug woven with burnt sienna, brown, and tan threads in a consistent geometric pattern. The central geometric design includes larger sections of tan framing a looser, open pattern of oblong shapes framed by a thick border of a tighter, square dominated geometric pattern which downplays the tan background and brings the burnt sienna to the forefront. Tan fringe edges the short sides of the rug.
