The colors are vibrantly set off on an indigo field with blue, ochre, greens, peach, yellows, ivory, and 8 other colors at least. The design is a rare, one of a kind,original woven piece that reflects the creativity of the weaver. This is an opportunity to add this rug art to your home and wait for the comments from your guests.
