A single tiny motif as seen in the two previous rug images is repeated
throughout the central field of this carpet. Here it looks like a flower,
whereas previously it was upside down in relation to the pile or on its side
in another variation.
Identical in color and weave structure to the last example, this rug has a
very different field pattern because of the seemingly superimposed square
grid. Can you see how this affects the symmetries? Notice the tessellation
used as a border pattern on either side of the main borders.
