| My personal favorite type of rug. A large blue lozenge with green, red, and grey geometric stripes running diagonally along the edges. In the middle of the lozenge sits a medallion containing a large rifle, two smaller rifles, and two triangles.
The white spandrels contain the same triangular imagery with small images of deer, helicopters, and other four legged animals. The border consists of four smaller geometric guard stripes with interlocking lines and geometric shapes. |
