With long pile and a very low knot density, this small rug has a deceptively
simple pattern. There is a lot of subtlety in the use of color and play with
pattern. Color alternation brings out rotational symmetry in each
eight-pointed star. For the background colors, the sequence in each row is
offset by one, which creates diagonal color banding across the field.
