On the Design:

A light, cream white field and border underscores a play of medallion designs, geometric patterns, floral motifs, and pictorial representations of butterflies. Admirers of the craft may note both the illustrations of the butterflies and the choice of chocolate brown and cool blue tones—addressing both the field and greek key border alike—also speak to Mongolian sensibilities in the many influences behind this design. Altogether it’s a piece as deeply personal in its subtext as it is in the details and beauties that distinguish it in our craft—an homage to a rich history of craft and culture. See less
