Untitled (Amish rug)

A rectangle that is slightly irregular, but sharply defined. Variegated grey in its overall effect, although a close inspection reveals horizontal bands composed of alternating dark and light grey rectangles capped in white. Wobbly bands of purple, red, yellow, and green peek through in the vertical direction. This piece is warp-facing and woven with subdued black and blue warp yarn containing bunches of bright color.
