Hand knotted in the durable wool pile, the open field design sets an eccentric combination of medallions, protective eye, and the tree of life motifs in rustic gold, lavender, black, and salmon colourways against a textural red background. The wrapping gold and lavender borders further emphasize the protective diamond eyes and complement the asymmetry of the field patterns and consolidate the interesting combination of protective and rejuvenating themes these symbols embody. less
