Their colorful and finely rendered patterns required careful planning to translate designs onto the loom. The end result was a once colorful textile featuring bright orange, blue, and green dyes to color the ogival and floral motifs while a background pattern of diamonds composed of metal wrapped and white silk threads created a shimmering background.
