Condition: The pattern on this rug is an interesting and known pattern. The field is split down the center with an elaborate geometric stripe, and on either side a pattern of alternating seated women and orange busses intermingles with small flowers and other motifs.
The colors in this rug are striking, bright neon pinks intermingle with faded abrashed aqua blues, and the bright orange and navy blues fill out the busses and the faces of the figures.
The border mirrors the center stripe, with interlocking wave patterns forming the outer border.
The bight orange is bleeding into the pale tan background in some places.
