Depicted are several raport of geometric patterns, which combine to form a large stepped rhombus. The piece captivates with its bright colors. There are four different colors to choose from: a deep dark gray, a warm pink, brown and a warm glowing antique gold. The braided graduations are mostly completely preserved.
