The composition is organized with layered borders and repeating X, ladder, and diamond forms, creating a striking architectural symmetry typical of bogolanfini design traditions.
The textile is mounted on a larger backing, presenting it as a finished, ready-to-hang wall piece.

Likely produced in the mid- to late-20th century for the decorative or export market, this piece works beautifully in global, tribal, bohemian, and modern interiors.
A strong graphic accent for gallery walls, layered textile groupings, or minimalist spaces needing contrast and texture.
