| New, shows no signs of any visible wear, white cotton trim is clean and bright. The rug possesses strong abrash, with a variety of different rusty orange colorations. The selvedge has slight indentations, such that it is not a perfect measured square, testifying to its handmade, non-factory construction. The primary armed predator drone, with its almost pink color atop the rusted orange field, has a box-like shape within its head/cockpit, giving the apparent sensation of an eye glancing downward, watching. The secondary predator drones, also armed, are a deep grey color, trimmed in the same beige color as the primary, central figure. A set of smaller drones, in the same color as the primary, offer a contrast in orientation and pigmentation. You will notice of this set, some are slightly smaller than others, with their tails somewhat differently shaped, seemingly in possession of different or fewer armaments. Deep blue triangles, set in an ascending and descending pattern with one beige shape in each segment, frame the rug nicely. |
| Wool: Thick and full, soft when running fingers over it with the grain, rougher going against the grain, mimicking the way the light also changes its appearance whether the rug faces light or not. | Sheen: Higher sheen that reflects its conditioning | Handle: Stands up against itself when bent, but is pliable enough to be pushed flat and offers little resistance. | Selvedge: Beige-like grey that almost incorporates both the body and trim of the secondary predator drones. |
| Fringe: True white cotton 2 inch trim | Pile: 5mm | Warp: White cotton | Weft: White cotton |
| Warp Depression:The warps are well depressed, about 45 degrees, but one can see the buried node beside the elevated node.
